Saif Ali Khan Gets Notice From Bulgarian Govt For Wild Boar Hunting
Saif Ali Khan is a witness in the Bulgarian Wild Boar Hunting case and the Bulgarian Government has sent him a notice through the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
Saif
Ali
Khan
has
been
sent
a
notice
by
the
Government
of
Bulgaria
through
the
International
Criminal
Police
Organization
(Interpol)
in
the
Wild
Boar
Hunting
case
and
has
asked
the
Mumbai
police
to
record
his
statements.
The
Interpol
states
that
Saif
Ali
Khan
is
a
witness
in
the
Wild
Boar
Hunting
case
back
in
Bulgaria.
It
is
reported
that
as
soon
as
the
Mumbai
police
received
the
orders,
they
recorded
Saif
Ali
Khan's
statements
about
the
issue.
As
per
a
leading
daily,
an
agent
from
Bulgaria
arranged
a
wild
boar
hunt
but
had
not
taken
prior
permission
from
the
Bulgarian
Government
and
did
not
have
an
official
licence
to
organise
the
hunt.
As
per
the
hunting
law
in
Bulgaria,
it
is
illegal
for
a
visitor
to
hunt
in
the
country
without
passing
the
hunting
test.
Only
after
passing
the
hunting
test
will
the
visitor
be
given
a
hunting
licence.
Hunting
can
still
be
allowed
in
Bulgaria
if
the
visitor
has
a
hunting
licence
from
his
own
country.
A
source
opened
up
by
saying,
"The
actor
is
a
witness
in
a
hunting
case
probed
by
the
Bulgarian
police.
After
the
communication
from
the
Interpol
was
received,
the
crime
branch,
Bandra
unit,
was
asked
to
record
the
actor's
statement."
The
source
further
commented,
"A
team
of
the
Mumbai
Crime
Branch
sleuths
from
the
unit
visited
the
actor's
suburban
residence
and
recorded
his
statement.
The
agent
has
been
booked
for
organising
a
hunt
without
the
requisite
permits
and
licence.
The
Interpol
has
sought
details
on
the
case
from
the
actor."
Also,
back
home
in
India,
hunting
of
wild
animals
has
been
banned
under
the
Wildlife
Protection
Act.
Saif
Ali
Khan
was
acquitted
from
the
Blackbuck
Poaching
case
a
few
months
ago
and
the
case
went
on
for
19
years
straight.
