When Salman Khan got bailed out of jail by former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar in a high-profile case
Salman Khan , who was one of the accused in the 1999 blackbuck poaching case , managed to secure bail with the help of former vice president Jagdeep Dhankar. The latter recently stepped down from the position of India's vice president, citing health issues. How was Salman Khan bailed by Jagdeep Dhankar in the 1999 case? Former vice president Jagdeep Dhankar was a senior advocate and expert in the constitution. And for the unversed, he was a counsel for actor Salman Khan and the other accused in the case. And that's how he assisted them in getting bail. In 1998, he was one of the advocates representing Salman Khan's side. The actor's side also included Saif Ali Khan , Tabu, Neelam, and Sonali Bendre . Praveen Balwada, who was Dhankar's assistant at that time, told India Today, "Dhankhar was the first lawyer to argue the case for Salman Khan when Jodhpur Police arrested him in 1998 and get bail for him and the other accused." However, Jagdeep Dhankar wasn't representing Khan in the next phases of the case. Later, speaking with Rediff On The Net, the ex-vice president confirmed his involvement in the case. Dhankar talks about Salman Khan's case In the Rediff interview, when he was asked if the star really went for hunting with other actors, Dhankar decided not to give a straight answer. The senior lawyer also questioned the investigation's credibility. He added, "I pleaded before the judge, stating that Salman had fully cooperated with the police after his arrest, and therefore there is every reason to grant him bail." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Dhankar shared that he argued in the court, saying that if the villagers claimed to have seen the actors killing the animal, why didn't they chase them down at that time?

The animal is an endangered species protected under India's Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

She further added, "See you on the 14th. In a cinema near meee." This playful message, mentioning the release date of August 14, has sparked fresh excitement and rumors among fans about her potential cameo in the film's post-credit scene alongside Sharvari, as part of the Alpha storyline. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, Alia's story has certainly added fuel to the ongoing speculation.

Did Alia Bhatt Just Confirm Her Alpha Spy Cameo In War 2? Here's Why Fans Think So
Alia Bhatt hints at possible Alpha cameo in War 2 with a cryptic Instagram post. Fans speculate after her 'See you on 14th' message goes viral. With War 2 gearing up for its grand release on August 14, the trailer of the much-anticipated YRF Spy Universe instalment dropped earlier today, promising explosive action, cinematic scale, and a dose of patriotic fervour. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, and directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is already drawing massive attention — but it was Alia Bhatt's cheeky reaction that sent fans into a frenzy. Taking to her Instagram story, Alia re-shared the War 2 trailer and wrote, 'Mazedaaaaaar 🔥🔥🔥 See you on the 14th. In a cinema near meee." While the message may seem like a routine show of support at first glance, the specific mention of August 14 and her playful tone have only intensified speculation about her cameo in the film's post-credit scene. The buzz around Alia's entry into the YRF Spy Universe has been swirling for months, particularly with the announcement of Alpha — YRF's first-ever female-led spy film, co-starring Sharvari Wagh, set to release on December 25, 2025. According to a report by India Today, both Alia and Sharvari are said to appear in a mysterious post-credit cameo in War 2 — one that subtly teases the narrative of Alpha. 'It's short, yes, but it has tension, mystery, and a hint of what these two women are capable of. It's not just a cameo — it's a setup," a source told the outlet. Another insider revealed that the cameo was filmed under tight security earlier this year, with only a handful of crew members on set to preserve the secrecy. While Yash Raj Films has not officially confirmed Alia and Sharvari's involvement in War 2, fans are already connecting the dots — and Alia's Instagram story has only added fuel to the fire. If true, this would mark a strategic expansion of the YRF Spy Universe, tying the past (Tiger, Pathaan, War) with the future (Alpha) through seamless narrative integration. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to mark a new era in Bollywood's action genre, showcasing female spies at the centre of a sprawling espionage saga. As the release of War 2 draws closer, all eyes are not just on Hrithik and Jr NTR — but also on the shadows, where the Alpha spies may quietly be preparing to make their move.
