Salman Khan blackbuck poaching case verdict: Did Renuka Shahane just take Salman's side?

Actress Renuka Shahane, who had criticised her Hum Aapke Hai Koun…! co-star Salman Khan on his remark of feeling “like a raped woman” during his shoot for Sultan, has now made a vague statement on the actor’s acquittal in the blackbuck poaching case. In a detailed post on her unverified Facebook page, Renuka Shahane takes Salman’s side where she asks why the other actors present with Salman during the hunt were not jailed. They were charged, of course, but not jailed. Renuka also asks, “Who will pay for the mental torture that Salman has had to go through now that he has been declared not guilty?”

“In 1998 a Black Buck & 2 Chinkaras (that are endangered species & therefore cannot be killed) were allegedly killed on a hunting trip that included Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Amrita Singh, Tabu & Sonali Bendre. Somehow while the ‘mor’ was ‘naaching’ in their ‘hivdas’ they wanted to shoot some endangered animals. And they did & ate them too. But did they? Out of all only Salman was charged for killing a black buck & a chinkara. He also served time for the same in Jodhpur jail. No charges were framed against the others. The case carried on & on & on as our cases do for two main reasons 1) Having big bucks (sometimes even black bucks….different from the Black Buck who passed) or 2) Not having big bucks. Salman of course falls in the 1st category of big bucks ( I don’t know their colour & we should not be racist by commenting) So now after 18 years he has been acquitted of charges in both cases,” says Renuka on Facebook.

The actress also asks questions like “Who killed the blackbuck…? Did the driver kill them?” Here’s what she said added, “Some questions come to mind 1) Who killed the Black Buck & the Chinkaras? 2) Did the driver kill them? 3) Did nobody kill them? 4) Do judges decide according to Buckworth-Lewis method? ( What? Er…it’s Duckworth-Lewis?) Sorry! 4) Who will pay for the mental torture that Salman has had to go through now that he has been declared not guilty? 5) Doesn’t the nation want to know the truth? ( preferably very loudly) What? The nation doesnt want to know? No? Why? Oh you don’t say…..busy spending bucks on Sultan….Er….then let it pass….yeah the Buck, what else? Dear, deer! Surreal!!!”

It’s surprising that this is coming from Renuka who was not happy with Salman for having made the “raped woman” remark and had asked him to “Be human” – an obvious reference to his Being Human Foundation. So, in the blackbuck poaching case, how does she really know that the other actors were not interrogated by the police when they were first charged and then let go? We wonder if Saif Ali Khan, Amrita Singh, Tabu and Sonali Bendre will react to Renuka’s statement!
