Did Salman Khan Give a Blank Cheque to Bishnois After the Blackbuck Killing?

Did Salman Khan Give a Blank Cheque to Bishnois After the Blackbuck Killing?

The saga between gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and superstar Salman Khan keeps getting murkier by the day!

Recently, Bishnoi issued yet another threat to Salman, building on a history of previous warnings. This conflict dates back to Salman's alleged role in the 1998 blackbuck killing, a significant issue as the animal holds sacred status in the Bishnoi community.

While Salman has consistently denied these allegations, Lawrence's cousin has now revealed that the actor reportedly attempted to resolve the situation years ago with a 'blank cheque.'

In a recent NDTV interview, Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of the incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, discussed the ongoing feud between his cousin and the actor, claiming that following the backlash over the blackbuck poaching case, Salman offered financial compensation to the Bishnoi community. He stated that Salman came with an empty chequebook, asking community leaders to fill in whatever amount they deemed appropriate to resolve the issue.

‘If we were after money, we would have accepted it,’ Ramesh emphasized.

Responding to Salim Khan's allegation that Lawrence was targeting Salman for monetary gain, Ramesh clarified that the feud was rooted in ideology, not financial motives. He expressed the intense emotions of the Bishnoi community during that time, saying, ‘Hamara khoon khol raha tha uss waqt’ (Our blood was boiling at that time). Ramesh also pointed out that Lawrence owned 110 acres of land in India and was financially stable enough not to resort to extortion.

The blackbuck poaching incident occurred in Jodhpur in 1998 while Salman was filming Hum Saath Saath Hain, alongside Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, and Neelam Kothari. The case has lingered for 25 years, and while Salman has been convicted, he is currently out on bail.

The Bishnoi community continues to demand an apology, but Salim Khan has stated that Salman will not apologize, as that would imply guilt.
