<h2>Salim Khan on the connection between Baba Siddique's murder and actor Salman Khan.</h2>

In an interview with ABP News, Salim said that he doesn't think&nbsp;Salman and Siddique's friendship has anything to do with latter's death.&nbsp;

Speaking in Hindi (Translated to English), veteran lyricist said,''Nahi, mujhe nahi lagta hai ki isse koi taluk hai. Isse koi taluk nahi hai, mujhe nahi lagta. Baba Siddique ka isse kya taluk hoga? Kisi bhi cheez ka bana dijiye. Aapne humko salaam nahi kiya, ab hum aapko maar denge. Aapne humko namaste nahi kiya, hum maar denge (No, I don't think there is any connection. What connection will Baba Siddique have with this? We can make any story like this. You didn't greet me, I'll kill you)."

Salman Khan firing incident: Mumbai Police invoke MCOCA against four accused

Salman Khan’s appeal against Rajasthan High Court’s verdict in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case will be heard today in Jodhpur.&nbsp;

In February, the actor had filed a plea challenging the verdict of the court that sentenced him for a 5-year jail term for killing endangered species blackbuck in Kankani near Jodhpur in 1998. The appeal was filed in the sessions court.

The said incident had happened at the time when Salman and other stars were shooting for their film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. His co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam were also tried but the court found them ‘not guilty’ and acquitted them barring Salman.&nbsp;

Salman was charged under Section 51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act and others under Section 51 read with Section 149 (unlawful assembly) of the Indian Penal Code.&nbsp;

Last year when the punishment was announced, Salman Khan's lawyer Anand Desai said in a statement, "ln the present case the Hon'ble Court has acquitted all the 5 co-accused which would imply that Salman was out hunting alone in the middle of the night in a remote area outside Jodhpur. We have preferred an appeal to the Hon'ble Sessions Court and applied for an urgent hearing today ."

The star was later granted bail in a couple of days on a bond of Rs.50,000 and two sureties of like amount. The Jodhpur District and Sessions Court in May granted permission to Salman Khan to travel outside India.

On the work front, Salman will be next seen in ‘Bharat’ that is due to release on June 5 and also stars Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Tabu and Sunil Grover in key roles.
