New Delhi, Apr 5: Actor Salman Khan, convicted and sentenced to five years in prison in a blackbuck poaching case, will not receive any special treatment during his stay in jail, Jodhpur DIG (Prisons) Vikram Singh said today.

Singh added that Khan had made no demands or special requests - including for drinking water.

"Salman Khan has been given number 106 and is lodged in ward number two. He was made to undergo medical test and has no medical issues," said Singh.

The actor will receive his jail uniform tomorrow.

The senior officer said that he did not want the actor to be left alone, even as he referred to Khan as someone "who does not seem easily scared."

"Multiple-layer security has been put up for his ward."
Singh shared that the actor expressed a special affinity for Rajasthan, which, Khan purportedly said, would "not suffer" despite the conviction.

The 52-year-old actor's bail plea hearing is scheduled for tomorrow. His lawyer can meet him in jail any time.

A Jodhpur trial court today found Khan guilty in a 1998 poaching case, while it acquitted co-accused Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Tabu.

Jodhpur District Presiding Officer Devkumar Khatri pronounced Salman guilty of killing two blackbucks - an endangered species - during a hunting expedition near Jodhpur. A penalty of Rs 10,000 was also levied on him. 

The actors were accused of hunting down the animals in Kankani village near Jodhpur on the intervening night of October 1 and 2, 1998, when they were in the city shooting for the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.

Khan had earlier pleaded innocence in the case, claiming before the court that the blackbuck died of "natural causes" and that he was being "framed".

This is the last of the three poaching cases against the actor from 1998 being heard at Jodhpur trial court. He was convicted in two poaching cases by the trial court, only to be acquitted by the Rajasthan high court later.

Jammu, Jan 25: People in Jammu and Kashmir expressed happiness over the restoration of mobile data services and internet access through fixed-line across the Union Territory on Saturday.

Speaking to ANI Jitendra Sharma, a resident of Jammu said, "The government has taken a good decision. People had been facing hardship for a long period and I think it will improve further."

"It is a big relief to people. People can finish their pending work. I hope that 4G services will also be resumed soon," said a resident of Kashmir.

The internet speed is restricted to 2G only.

"Access shall be limited only to whitelisted sites and not to any social media applications allowing peer to peer communication and virtual private network applications. Directions shall be effective from January 25 and will remain in force till January 31," the statement by the government read.

Earlier on January 15, 2G services were reinstated in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, and Udhampur for white-listed sites.

The Central government had suspended the internet in the region following the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution on August 5 last year, which conferred special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and its bifurcation into two Union Territories -- Ladakh, and Jammu and Kashmir.
