Bishnoi community takes to streets, burns effigy after Salim Khan says ‘Salman is innocent’

Members of the notorious Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang burnt effigies of superstar Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan in the desert city of Jaipur.

In a recent interview given to the Indian media, Salim Khan responded to accusations against his son Salman Khan about hunting blackbucks and said, “Salman Khan is innocent, he can never hurt any animal.”

The participants of the protest said, “We are Bishnois, we don’t defame anyone without reason. When the case was registered 26 years ago, there were many dignitaries including MLAs of the Bishnoi community. Salim Khan, by giving false statements, cannot mislead people.”

Bishnoi community said, “The community was hurt by Salim Khan’s statement, we will do our best for justice in the Blackbuck case and will protest on the streets.”
