The ongoing legal battle surrounding Salman Khan and the 1998 blackbuck poaching case has taken a dramatic turn, with threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang pushing the actor further into the spotlight. Amidst escalating tensions, former BJP MP Harnath Singh Yadav has urged Salman Khan to apologize to the Bishnoi community for his involvement in the case. This incident highlights the deep-seated anger within the Bishnoi community over the poaching of the blackbuck, a species revered for its religious significance.
The case dates back to 1998 when Salman Khan, while filming Hum Saath Saath Hain, was accused of hunting and killing two blackbucks in Rajasthan. The blackbuck, considered sacred by the Bishnoi community, was poached in an act that triggered widespread outrage. After years of legal battles, Salman Khan was convicted in 2018, further fueling the anger of the Bishnoi community, particularly Lawrence Bishnoi, a member of the community who swore revenge against the actor.
The recent threats against Salman Khan, stemming from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, have added a new dimension to the ongoing controversy. This gang, known for its history of criminal activity, has explicitly linked its threats to the blackbuck poaching case. In light of these threats, BJP leader Harnath Singh Yadav has publicly urged Salman Khan to apologize to the Bishnoi community, highlighting the deep-seated emotional wounds caused by the incident. Yadav’s plea centers on the need for reconciliation and a respect for religious sentiments. He believes that a public apology from Salman Khan could help appease the Bishnoi community and reduce the potential for further escalation.
However, sources close to Salman Khan have categorically denied the possibility of an apology. They maintain that the actor has no intention of apologizing for a crime he believes he did not commit. This resolute stance underscores the complex legal and emotional aspects surrounding the case. While Salman Khan’s family acknowledges the genuine concerns regarding the actor’s safety, they remain steadfast in supporting his position of innocence. The ongoing threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang continue to cast a shadow over Salman Khan’s life, impacting both his professional career and his personal well-being.
The recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, a close friend of Salman Khan, further highlights the potential dangers posed by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang claimed responsibility for the killing, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry and renewing concerns over the vendetta against Salman Khan. The murder serves as a stark reminder of the volatile situation and the potential for violence that hangs over this case.
