Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been directed by Jodhpurs District and Sessions Court to appear before it on Friday in a case related to the alleged poaching of two blackbucks in a Rajasthan village two decades ago. The actor's lawyer has been reportedly asked to ensure his presence in the court on Friday, or else he will be at risk of his bail getting cancelled. The Bollywood superstar has been sentenced to five-year imprisonment in the blackbuck poaching case but is currently out on bail.
