Watch: Old video of Salman Khan admitting he didn’t kill blackbuck resurfaces, Reddit guesses who could it be

Salman Khan’s life is under concerning threat as jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is on a mission to kill the actor. This enmity dates back to 1998 when it was alleged that Khan reportedly killed a blackbuck, an animal worshipped by the Bishnoi community. After a long trial, Salman was even acquitted in the case but Lawrence is still after the man due to his personal vengeance.

In a 2008 interview with India Today, Salman was asked about his infamous involvement in the?1998 blackbuck poaching case. He took a pause and asserted,?“It’s a long story there and I wasn’t the one who shot the blackbuck.” When the journalist asked Khan why didn’t he name the real culprit, he said, “There’s no point.”

Soon after this clip made its way to Reddit, several users shared their thoughts. One user wrote, “I feel its Tabu.” Another opined, “The gesture he makes when she says, "But you took the rap for it" pointing towards himself and then away, could that be interpreted as "It was a give and take"? Did he get a royal payoff for taking the rap for someone else perhaps?”

The third one underlined, “Honestly it’s too late for Salman to put the blame on Saif if he did it or Tabu. One is a man living with such young kids and Tabu is a single woman. Their lives being under threat like that would ruin Salmans rep more.”

For the uninitiated, in March 2019, the Rajasthan High Court had issued notices to Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and a local resident, Dushyant Singh where Khan was accused of hunting two blackbucks while others were charged with instigating him to poach the animals. Khan had to face a long trial and others were immediately acquitted due to the benefit of the doubt.
