After spending the last two nights in jail, actor Salman Khan has been granted bail from Jodhpur Court in the blackbuck poaching case and has walked out of Jodhpur Central Jail. On April 5, the Ek Tha Tiger actor was sentenced to five years in jail for killing two blackbucks - an endangered species that's protected under the Indian Wildlife Act - near Jodhpur in Rajasthan 20 years ago. Salman Khan was shooting the multi-starrer Hum Saath Saath Hain at the time. His co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam Kothari, also accused in the case, were acquitted.
Following the bail hearing, Salman Khan has been told to file a personal bail bond for Rs. 50,000 and produce a Rs. 25,000 surety from two persons who will guarantee that he will comply with all bail conditions. He also cannot leave the country without the permission from the court.
