The court held that the pellets recovered from the Chinkaras were not fired from Khan's licensed gun. The driver of the jeep that was used by Khan and his co-stars on their alleged hunting mission has been missing, weakening the prosecution's case against the movie star.

Of course Salman Khan didn't kill any blackbuck. All blackbucks have long been safely deposited in Swiss banks.

Salman Khan didn't kill the black buck, he sent it to a better place which doesn't have his movies.

Salman Khan acquitted in poaching case after 18 years.

Probably because all the victim's friends and relatives have already died of old age.

#SalmanKhan acquitted of killing black bucks.
— Sorabh Pant (@hankypanty) July 25, 2016
No surprise.
In one case, witnesses were unwilling to speak.
In this - they didn't how to.
In Hit-and-run case, #SalmanKhan was not driving. In black buck case, the driver is missing.

The (black) buck did not stop at #SalmanKhan's table. #salmanacquitted

Only thing more depressing than the #SalmanKhan acquittal is the thousands of ppl blindly supporting this abysmal ruling.
