Bollywood actor Salman Khan was convicted by a Jodhpur sessions court Thursday, April 5 for killing two blackbucks during a shooting of the movie Hum Saath Saath Hain in 1998. 

Four actors -- Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre -- who were the co-accused in the case, have been acquitted by the sessions court in Rajasthan.  

The court is expected to pronounce the quantum of sentence for Salman Khan today itself. The Bollywood actor could face a jail term of one to six years.

If the actor is sentenced to less than three years in prison, then he can apply for bail in the same court, according to reports. If the actor gets bail, he would not be sent to jail today.
