Bollywood star told he must serve jail term<\/h3>\n
\"\"BOLLYWOOD actor Salman Khan has been told he must serve his five-year jail sentence handed down to him for poaching.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The actor, who had asked the court to quash the sentence issued in April 2006 for hunting a protected gazelle on a trip to Rajasthan in 1998, must surrender immediately to the police, court officials said. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The news comes as another blow to the Indian film industry after the sentencing of Sanjay Dutt earlier this month for his part in the 1993 Mumbai bombings.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Khan’s lawyers told reporters that the actor would appeal against the sentence in a higher court. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The case isn\u2019t the only poaching charge the actor has to his name. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He was sentenced by the same court in February last year to one year for killing two protected black buck antelopes during a separate hunting trip in 1998. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And the actor is still waiting to face trial in Mumbai in a 2002 hit-and-run case. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

One person died and three others injured when Khan allegedly drove into a group of homeless people sleeping on a pavement. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Khan faces 10 charges, including causing death by negligent driving which carries two years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty on all counts.<\/div>\n
