Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively.

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave.
