Jaipur, January 17
Film actor Salman Khan on Tuesday arrived at Jodhpur for the Arms Act case in which the verdict would be pronounced by a local court on Wednesday.
Surrounded by well-wishers and fans outside the Jodhpur airport, Salman drove straight by a luxury car to Hotel Taj Hari under heavy police security.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit had fixed January 18 for the final verdict after the final arguments from the two sides on January 9.
A case was registered against Khan under the Arms Act in October 1988 for alleged possession of arms without a valid licence during the alleged poaching of black bucks, an animal under the Wildlife Protection Act, at Kankani village near Jodhpur.
The case was filed by the Jodhpur Forest Department.
If convicted, Khan could face imprisonment from three to seven years.
The Jodhpur Police Commissioner has also made security arrangements around the district court, a senior police officer said.
