Bollywood star Salman Khan has been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of killing rare antelopes in a 20-year-old poaching case.
The 52-year-old, who is one of the top ten best paid actors in the world, was convicted of shooting two blackbuck deer in a western India wildlife preserve in 1998.
