Salman deserves it
by Soham Dutta on Feb 18, 2006 11:55 AM

This should serve as a sign that no one gets away with poaching. I hope justice is done in the Pataudi case as well!

1 year is too little
by Karthik on Feb 18, 2006 11:53 AM

I think the 1 year given to Salman is just way too little. A lot of people have no regard whatsoever for nature and show little respect to animals. I am disappointed by the fact that this 1 year is just a slap on the wrist.

People like Salman think that they can get away with anything just because they have money. I feel that his past acts are proof that he needs stronger punishment than this 1 year of prison time.

I am sure there will be lots appeals against this verdict and he will end up being a free man very soon. Criminals dont deserve to be free.

If you do the crime, you do the time.

Punishment to Salman Khan for killing 2 Black Bucks
by Anno. on Feb 18, 2006 11:47 AM

It is un fortunate that we have selective punishment . There have been some cases in the media during the last few years where public figures have been accused of killing Protected Wild Life, but none of the accused has undergone trail, convicted. The reasons are many which we all need to address. Acusing one and letting go another is not justice,..

Fit case for punishment....
by Srinivas on Feb 18, 2006 11:08 AM

No sympathy for Salman. He fully deserves the punishment (also the others who accompanied him for killing the helpless creatures). Deriving fun out of killing animals is a heinous crime and should be discouraged. Punishment to Mr. Salman and Mr. Tiger Patoudi (who is also indicted in similar case of poaching) will be a deterrent to other people who harbour such barbaric luxuries....

Good decision
by Ashraf Ahmed on Feb 18, 2006 11:08 AM

Salman is no poor fellow. I appreciate the decision from the magistrate.

Others stars and politicians too do hunting. But let this be the start of "Something can be done". Hope the others learn the lesson from this.

Salman's Sentence
by T R Balakrishnan on Feb 18, 2006 11:00 AM


Truly justice has prevailed for those innoent black bucks who were at the receiving end of Salman's bullets.

Will it satisfy his side kicks if other actors were also convicted. Had the Magisterate been more stricter than awarding 1 yr. sentence & paltry Rs.5000/- as fine when salman himself had offered for heavier sentence( even Gallows). Truly justice is all pervading & doesn't discriminate.

Next lets wait for Tiger Pataudi who lost all respects with the life of the protected specise he killed.

Surely it is a world of Karma(action & reaction)where nothing is allowed to be spilled over to the next birth.

Salman should take heart from this experience. He may well produce "Maine Jail Kque Gaya".

Keep it up Mr. Justice.

Just what is a blackbuck?
by Praveen on Feb 18, 2006 10:42 AM

For your kind information, endangered Black bucks are also found in some areas of south India. Now Salman has been sentenced for killing Chinkara and not Black buck and his black buck trial is under way. I am expecting another three years of sentence to him for killing black bucks as well. Other actors who are involved should also be punished. People take it for granted regarding wildlife. Wild life Act sould be ammended.
