Bollywood star Salman Khan was found guilty Thursday of illegally killing rare deer in a wildlife refuge in 1998. An Indian court sentenced the actor to five years in prison. Salman Khan denies he shot two black buck deer 20 years ago in a western India nature preserve. The blackbuck is an endangered animal protected under the Indian Wildlife Act. On Thursday, Khan heard the ruling in court in the western city of Jodhpur. News of the sentencing made the actor a popular topic on social media. The hashtag #BlackBuckPoachingCase trended worldwide Thursday on Twitter. In India, the hashtag #WeLoveYouSalmanKhan was another top trend. Some Bollywood performers expressed their support for Khan. Actor Arjun Rampal said on Twitter, “My heart goes out, I feel this is too harsh.”
