In a fervent defense of his son, Salim Khan, veteran Bollywood screenwriter, has publicly denied any wrongdoing by his son, Salman Khan, regarding the long-standing accusations linked to the Blackbuck poaching case. As the case reverberates once again with threats from notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Salim Khan has emphatically stated that Salman Khan owes no apology to anyone, asserting that the actor is innocent and has unjustly found himself in the crosshairs of controversy.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, a household name well-known not only for his successful film career but also for numerous controversies, finds himself under intense scrutiny and threat once more. The allegations that have resurfaced date back to the late 1990s, when Salman was accused of hunting the endangered blackbuck antelope during the filming of “Hum Saath-Saath Hain” in Rajasthan. While the court cases have seen various developments over the years, the focus on Salman has been reignited by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi who demanded an apology from Salman, claiming that he dishonored the Bishnoi community which holds the blackbuck sacred.
Lawrence Bishnoi, a figure associated with organized crime, has issued chilling threats toward Salman Khan, heightening the actor’s security concerns. Bishnoi has been vocal, demanding both a public apology and reparations from Khan, painting a picture of possible dire consequences should these demands not be met. Bishnoi alleges that Salman’s actions, purportedly killing a blackbuck, have deeply insulted his community. These threats have not only brought Salman Khan’s legal battles back into the limelight but also prompted an outraged response from his father, Salim Khan.
In an interview with ABP, Salim Khan boldly declared that his son has no reason to apologize to the Bishnoi community or anyone else, as he maintains Salman Khan’s innocence. Salim revealed that he had directly questioned his son about his involvement in the regarded poaching incident. “I asked Salman if he was involved, and he clearly stated that he wasn’t even present at the location. My son has never lied to me,” Salim Khan remarked with conviction.

Challenging the basis of the accusations, Salim Khan further added, “Admitting guilt by apologizing when he hasn’t committed the act? That wouldn’t be right. Salman has never harmed an animal; we don’t even kill household pests like cockroaches. Such behaviors are contrary to our beliefs,” he asserted.
Salim Khan’s defense goes a step further, pointing out the lack of evidence against his son. “Has anyone witnessed him committing a crime? Is there conclusive evidence, a thorough investigation? We have never resorted to violence, not even through the use of firearms,” Salim staunchly emphasized.
His statements highlight a father’s unwavering support for his child amid ongoing legal and public challenges. The renewed threats have cast a shadow over Salman Khan’s current projects and commitments, leaving fans and the film fraternity on edge regarding the superstar’s safety.
While Lawrence Bishnoi’s threats have added fresh concern over security, the turmoil is far from new to Salman Khan, who has navigated the choppy waters of legal battles and public scrutiny previously. The Bollywood star’s legal team continues to address the allegations and ensure his safety in the process.
The resurgence of the blackbuck case and accompanying threats underscore the complexities that surround high-profile legal cases, often interwoven with community sentiments and public perceptions. As the situation evolves, it is clear that both Salman Khan and those supporting him, like his father Salim, are prepared for a legal and public battle over his innocence.
As of now, neither Salman Khan nor his representatives have issued any statement regarding Bishnoi’s recent threats, but with Salim Khan’s vocal support, it is evident that the family stands united in maintaining Salman’s innocence. The saga continues to unfold with not only the celebrity’s reputation at stake but also an entire industry’s watchful eye following every development closely.
