The Rajasthan government Monday sought enhancement of the one-year prison sentence awarded to Salman Khan by a local Jodhpur court for poaching a chinkara and conviction of actor-comedian Satish Shah and six others acquitted in the case.
It filed a petition in Rajasthan High Court's main Bench in Jodhpur challenging the February 17 verdict of Chief Judicial Magistrate B K Jain sentencing Salman to a year in jail for killing the species of gazelle in September 1998 at Bhavad village in the district.
The court had also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on the 40-year-old Salman while acquitting actor-comedian Satish Shah and others - Kuldeep Singh, Mohd Hussain, Yashpal Singh, Mahendra Pal Singh alias Rajubana, Dushyant Singh and M S Bhati.
