Inside Jodhpur jail after Salman Khan's conviction in blackbuck poaching case

Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in jail after a court in Jodhpur today convicted him of killing two blackbucks 19 years ago.

The other accused in the case - Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Neelam - and a local named Dushyant Singh have been acquitted in the case.

Neelam's husband, actor-director Sameer Soni, in conversation with India Today said though he was happy for his wife. Soni believed Salman Khan had been targeted for his star status.

"I have mixed emotions right now. I am happy for Neelam and the rest. It is a 20-year-old ordeal. I don't know why Salman was singled out. It seems his star status has come in the way," said Soni.
