Salman gets permission to visit England on statue unveiling

Jodhpur, Jan 3 (UNI) A city court today gave permission to Bollywood actor Salman Khan to visit England in connection with the installation of his wax statue at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London.

Salman's advocate Hatimal Saraswant had moved an application in the court of judical magistrate Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit yesterday seeking permission for the actor to visit England for three days.

The court granted him permission to leave the country. A case against Salman is pending in this court over the poaching of two black bucks in Kankani village on October 2, 1998.

The actor is on bail after he was sentenced to five years imprisonment in the infamous Chinkara poaching case. His appeal is pending before the Rajasthan High Court.

Meanwhile, his application seeking permission to visit England is pending in the High Court as it could consider his application only on Monday.

Salman is the fourth Bollywood star whose wax figure will be unveiled at the museum after those of Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Shah Rukh Khan.
