Manoj revealed during questioning that Lokesh was his wife's nephew. He said his wife had left him following a domestic dispute and refused to return to their home. In desperation, he reached out to a

"Salman Khan's lawyers had earlier filed a transfer petition in the high court against his sentence from the district and session court, so that the appeal filed against him could be clubbed with the appeal filed by the state government," said prosecution's counsel Mahipal Bishnoi. Live Events The transfer was delayed due to some technical reasons and hence the hearing in both the appeals had been stalled since long, he added. In 1998, during the shooting of the film "Hum Saath Saath Hain", Khan was accused of hunting two blackbucks in Kankani village of Jodhpur district. While Khan, the main accused, was sentenced by the chief judicial magistrate's court (Jodhpur district), Saif Ali Khan, Bendre, Tabu, Neelam, and Singh were acquitted. Khan filed a criminal appeal against his conviction whereas the state government filed a leave to appeal against the acquittal of the co-accused persons. PTI
