Controversies

Hit-and-run case

On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the accident.[205]Charges ofculpable homicidewere laid against him, but later dropped.[206]On 24 July 2013, he was formally charged with culpable homicide in the case, to which he pleaded not guilty.[207]

On 6 May 2015, Khan was found guilty of all charges in the case. The BombaySessions Courtconcluded that Khan was driving the car under the influence of alcohol, causing the death of one and serious injury to four homeless persons. An RTO officer confirmed that Khan did not have a driving licence until 2004.[208]Sessions Judge DW Deshpande convicted the actor for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced him to five years in prison.[209]Later in the same day, Khan, being represented by Senior Counsel Amit Desai was granted bail by theBombay High Courttill 8 May 2015,[210][211][212]on which the court suspended his prison sentence until the final appeal hearing in July.[213][214][215][216]His driver Ashok Singh, who had given the testimony that it was himself who was driving the car at the time of accident, was charged with perjury for misguiding the Court with false testimony and was arrested. The prime witness, police constable Ravindra Patil went missing multiple times and eventually died in a hospital due totuberculosis.[217]In December 2015, Khan was acquitted of all charges from this case due to lack of evidence.[218][219]The Supreme Court on Tuesday 5 July 2016 admitted a plea by the Maharashtra government that challenged the acquittal of Salman Khan in this hit-and-run case by the Bombay High Court. The court refused to fast-track the case.[220]

Relationship with Aishwarya Rai

His relationship with actressAishwarya Raiwas a well publicised topic in the Indian media.[221]After their break-up in March 2002, Rai accused him of harassing her. She claimed that Khan had not been able to come to terms with their break-up and was hounding her; her parents lodged a complaint against him.[222]In 2003,Vivek Oberoi,Rai's then boyfriend, claimed that Khan had threatened him.[223]In 2005, news outlets released what was said to be an illicit copy of a mobile phone call recorded in 2001 by the Mumbai police. It appeared to be a call in which he threatened Rai, in an effort to force her to appear at social events held by Mumbai crime figures. The call featured boasts of connections to organised crime and derogatory comments about other actors. However, the alleged tape was tested in thegovernment'sForensic lab inChandigarh,which concluded that it was fake.[224][225]

Blackbuck hunting and Arms Act violations cases

The case involves the alleged killing of a deer when Khan and his co-stars –Saif Ali Khan,Sonali Bendre,NeelamandTabu– were filming the movieHum Saath-Saath Hainin the forests near Jodhpur in 1998.[226][227]In 2007, Salman spent a week in Jodhpur jail before the court granted him bail. In addition to the accusations of poaching of endangered antelopes under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, a case under sections 3/25 and 3/27 of the Arms Act was filed against Khan for allegedly keeping and using firearms with an expired licence.[228]

On 17 February 2006, Khan was sentenced to one year in prison for huntingChinkara,an endangered species. The sentence was stayed by a higher court on appeal.[229]

On 10 April 2006, Khan was handed a five-year jail term and remanded toJodhpurjail until 13 April when he was granted bail.[230]On 24 July 2012,Rajasthan High Courtfinalised charges against Khan and his other colleagues in theendangeredblackbuckkilling case, paving way for the start of the trial.[231]On 9 July 2014, theSupreme Courtissued a notice to Khan onRajasthan government's plea challenging the High Court order suspending hisconviction.[232]Khan was acquitted in the blackbuck and chinkara poaching cases by the Rajasthan High Court on 24 July 2016.[233]

On 18 October 2016 the Rajasthan Government decided to approach the Supreme Court to challenge Khan's acquittal in two related cases.[234]

On 18 January 2017 Khan was acquitted by a Jodhpur court in an Arms Act case linked to the killing of a blackbuck in Rajasthan. Khan pleaded "not guilty" to charges of violating the law by keeping unlicensed weapons and using them. Acquitting the actor, the court said that the prosecution failed to submit enough evidence against him.[228][235]

On 5 April 2018, Jodhpur court convicted Khan in the blackbuck poaching case and sentenced him to five years imprisonment while acquitting Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam, and Tabu.[236][18][19]

Khan was released on bail on 7 April 2018, pending appeal.[237][238][239]

On 14 April 2024, two members of the Bishnoi Gang, who belong a religious sect that considers the blackbuck sacred, opened fire on Khan's apartment inBandra,Mumbai before fleeing on a motorcycle. Khan, who was inside along with several relatives, was unharmed. The gunmen were later arrested inGujarat.The gang had previously threatened Khan over the hunting incident. Police said that the attack was masterminded by Amnol Bishnoi, the younger brother of the gang's leaderLawrence Bishnoi.[240][241]

Remarks about 26/11 attacks

In September 2010, Khan was reported to have claimed during an interview on a Pakistani channel that the26/11 attacksgot a lot of attention because the "elite" were targeted.[242][243]During the interview the actor had said: "It was the elite that was targeted this time. Five star hotels and stuff. So they panicked. Then they got up and spoke about it. My question is" why not before? "Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much."[242][243]Khan also said that Pakistan was not to be blamed for it, and that the Indian security had failed. Khan's comments had drawn strong reactions from Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Chagan Bhujbal,Shiv Sena,BJP and other political parties.[242]The comments were also condemned by Ujwal Nikam, Special Prosecutor in the 26/11 trial.[242]Khan later apologised for his comments.[242]

Tweets on Yakub Memon

On 25 July 2015, Khan made a number of tweets from his Twitter account in support of the1993 Bombay bombings,accusedYakub Memon.Memon was scheduled to be executed, before which Khan made his tweets.[244]Khan said that Yakub's brother,Tiger Memonshould be hanged instead. He also asked the Prime Minister of Pakistan,Nawaz Sharifto confirm "whether the mob boss is in his country."[245]The tweets sparked protests outside his house where police had to be deployed and were criticised in the social media and by his father, Salim Khan. Following these incidents, Khan withdrew his tweets and apologised.[246]

Interference in Jiah Khan suicide case

Following thedeath of Sushant Singh Rajputby hanging, the late actressJiah Khan's mother, Rabia Amin, revealed that Salman Khan had attempted to influence the case, where accusations for abetment of suicide were charged against actorSooraj Pancholi.A CBI officer who was investigating the case had told Rabia Amin that Salman Khan called him every day, asking him not to harass or touch Sooraj Pancholi, as a lot of money was invested in him.[247][248]
