Salman Khan was accused of killing a Blackbuck while hunting in Jodhpur, Rajasthan in 1998. The Blackbuck or Chinkara is an animal very sacred to the Bishnoi community.

The Bollywood superstar was reportedly accompanied by his co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam during the hunting adventure. Now, an old clip of Salman Khan saying that he wasn't the person to kill the Blackbuck has resurfaced on the Internet.

Salman Khan Denies Killing Blackbuck in Old Clip

In an old video of Salman Khan's interview of India Today shared by a user on Reddit, the journalist could be seen indirectly asking the actor whether he shot the Blackbuck. Taking sometime, Salman Khan replies to her, "It's a long story there. And I wasn't the one who shot the Blackbuck." The interviewer then questions Salman that if that was the case, why does he not point a finger at someone else. To which, he replies, "There is no point." Salman's answer raises questions about whether he didn't shoot the blackbuck indeed and if someone else was involved, suggesting that the actor might just be trying to cover someone's name. ‘Singham Again’ Update: Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey NOT Part of Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe – Here’s Why.
