On January 27, actor Salman Khan recorded his statement in front of the magistrate in Jodhpur and said that the blackbuck died under natural circumstances.
The Times of India quoted Salman as saying, "Only the first forensic report of Dr Nepalia saying that the animal died of 'natural causes' was true and the rest of the evidence is false."
The term “natural” hasn’t gone down well with people on social media who can’t stop laughing and cracking jokes on Salman. “A kid who didn’t do his homework makes better excuses than the ones Salman Khan’s advocates are providing in the blackbuck case,” wrote a user. “Salman Khan is a better actor in Court than in his movie,” wrote another.
The 51-year-old actor was asked 65 questions by Chief Judicial Magistrate Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit after which he pleaded innocence. “Khan has not committed any crime. After the film shooting, he used to remain in the hotel. He has been framed in the case and we would produce the evidence in favour of his innocence on the next date,” said his counsel H M Saraswat.
Social media is abuzz with comments on Salman and #SalmanKhan #NoMoreExcuses #Blackbuck and #BlackbuckPoachingCase started trending soon after the news broke. Check out some of the most hilarious reactions here.
