Salman Khan files petition in Jodhpur court seeking permission to fly abroad, court to hear plea today

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who was granted bail in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case, filed a petition in the Jodhpur District and Sessions Court seeking permission to travel abroad to visit four countries including the US, Canada and Japan.

The court is scheduled to hear the plea on the matter today. Although, Salman Khan hasn't given any official clarification about his requirement to fly abroad.

The 52-year-old actor was sentenced to five years in jail in the 20-year-old case by a Jodhpur court on April 5. He spent two nights in the Jodhpur Central Jail before being granted bail on April 7.

His Hum Saath Saath Hain co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabu and Sonali Bendre, and Jodhpur resident Dushyant Singh - were all acquitted in the two-decade-old case due to lack of evidence.
