Bollywood actor Salman Khan appeared in court on Friday to record his statement on the black buck poaching case that has haunted him for 19 years. Khan reportedly claimed that he was innocent and the animal had died of “natural causes”.
Twitter users drew up a list of the causes that could have resulted in its death.
It could have died of a heart attack after seeing a gun.
