Salman asked to appear in Jodhpur court

A local court here has ordered Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to be present in the court to record his statement on March 10 in a case related to the Arms Act.

"Prosecution evidences have finished. The court of chief judicial magistrate (CJM) Jodhpur district has set March 10 as date for recording of statement of the accused (Salman Khan)," Hastimal Saraswat, counsel for Salman, told IANS.

Salman and his "Hum Saath-Saath Hain" co-stars including Saif Ali Khan were accused of poaching black bucks on the night of October 1-2, 1998, during the shooting of the Hindi movie.

Salman is accused of carrying and using illegal arms also as he was alleged to have been carrying arms with an expired licence. A case under the Arms Act was registered against him thereafter.
