Film star Aamir Khan has been summoned for questioning on November 6 by the Gujarat forest department
in connection with filming the endangered chinkara, officials said on Sunday.
"We have sent a notice to Aamir Khan to be present for questioning on November 6," State Forest Minister
Mangu Patel said.
Forests officials are probing the case against Aamir, which dates back to the filming in Gujarat of "Lagaan"
eight years ago. The chinkara is protected under the Wildlife Protection Act.
Officials have said Aamir, the producer of "Lagaan", did not take permission from the forest department for
filming the endangered animal and thus violated the Act.
