The Bishnoi community on Friday burnt the effigy of Bollywood actor Salman Khan and his father and film director Salim Khan, expressing resentment against the latter’s statement that his son was “innocent” in the blackbuck poaching case.

Though the actor has been acquitted in the case, the Bishnoi community wants him to apologise for poaching blackbuck.

Recently, Salim Khan said that his son had not hunted the blackbuck.

Several people from the community participated in the protest staged in Jodhpur. They gathered at different places on the occasion of Bishnoi Dharma Sthapana Diwas.
