Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has filed a defamation suit against a TV news channel in the Bombay High Court and has claimed damages worth Rs 100 crore.
In a suit filed before a division bench of the HC in August, Salman has claimed a sting operation conducted by the channel in the 1998 Chinkara poaching case was malicious and defamatory. He wants the channel to be restrained from releasing or making public in any way, any part of that sting operation.
The channel claimed in the sting operation witnesses claimed they saw Khan shoot the endangered chinkaras in Jodhpur. However, later the witnesses turned hostile and claimed the video was doctored.
In a previous hearing on August 24 this year, the channel told a single bench of the HC that it had already taken down the video and script of the sting operation and all other related material from its website.
In a hearing earlier this month, both the parties submitted affidavits and told the court they were working out a settlement. Justice SJ Kathawalla, who is presiding over the matter, will hear the matter on November 18.
In July this year, the Rajasthan High Court acquitted Khan in both cases related to poaching.

Well deserved. I hope he wins the case and the channel pays 100+ crore and closes down. The channel owners should have to beg on roads for trying to defame him.
Good decision by Salman.
By the way what is the name of the News Channel???

The channel owner will go totally bankrupt and will have to beg on roads and eat dirt.
Media has really harm the image of salman khan most and they made the story that could earn trp and money. But sbesides all still he remains the biggest superstar.

@Navin,
The one who performs a crime is a criminal but the one who supports in the crime is equally a criminal.
