Fresh and diluted charges under the Wildlife Protection Act were framed against actors Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam in a Jodhpur court on Saturday in the blackbuck hunting case.

The charge under the Arms Act against Salman Khan was dropped. If convicted, the actors may face imprisonment up to six years.
