A photograph taken during the shooting of the film, Hum Saath Saath Hain, showing Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan holding a gun each, is just one of the nails in the proverbial coffin that is closing around Salman.

Salman had carried the two rifles — a .32 bore and a .22 bore — that were used to shoot the chinkaras and black bucks on September 26, 28 and October 1, 1998.

Immediately after the hunt, Salman had sent the guns back to Mumbai after the Jodhpur forest department was on his trail.The actor was taken into police custody on October 9 that year and later judicial custody when he confessed that he had, in fact, sent the guns back to Mumbai.

A team from the forest department was then dispatched to retrieve the guns from Mumbai. Said forest officer Shiv Chand Bohra, "The picture taken during the shooting is major evidence in court. Salman had claimed he had no guns and had not hunted the animals. But the picture proves otherwise."

Added advocate Mahipal Bishnoi who is presenting the case on behalf of the Bishnois, "The picture proves Salman owned the guns and had brought them to Jodhpur during the film shoot. It has played a major role in all the three poaching cases and also in the arms case against him."
