| It seems that Tuesday will be judgment day for Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the Chinkara poaching case.
Khan was at the Sessions Court in Jodhpur on Monday for a hearing on his appeal against a lower court judgment sentencing him to five year for hunting a Chinkara in 1998.
Although Khan's lawyers are working hard, the star looked rather tense, and the prosecution says that it has clinching evidence to make sure Salman goes to jail.
''The Gypsy that was used for poaching. There were clear bloodstains of Chinkara. That was established by the forensic report.''
''We have enough circumstantial evidence. People can lie but certainly these pieces of evidence form nature that exist against the star cannot be false,'' said Mahipal Vishnoi, Prosecution Lawyer.
But Khan's lawyers are trying every trick in the book to ensure he doesn't have to go to jail.
They say that the police filed the complaint in this case, but according to the Wildlife Protection Act, it should have been the Forest Department.
Yet with the lower court having convicted him and the prosecution insisting that they have a watertight case, Khan faces a tough battle to stay out of jail.
