According to reports, Salman Khan has gone on the offensive and filed a defamation case against a TV news channel in the Bombay High Court claiming damages worth Rs 100 crore.

The actor who was accused of poaching chinkaras near Jodhpur in 1998 during the shooting schedule of his film Hum Saath Saath Hain, claimed that a sting operation conducted by a TV news channel in the chinkara poaching case was malicious and defamatory. In a suit filed before a division bench of the Bombay High Court in August this year, Salman has asked for the channel to be restrained from releasing or making public any part of that sting operation.
