The forest department had registered a case against Bollywood actor Salman Khan for poaching of two black bucks on October 1-2, 1998 at village Kankani in Jodhpur. The department had then registered two more cases of poaching against Khan, which was objected to by the defence stating that the prosecution was relying on the statements of such witnesses who were never available for examination.
