Ahmedabad: The Kutch police have left for Mumbai and Bangalore to deliver bailable warrants issued against Bollywood actor Aamir Khan and four others for filming `Chinkara' in his movie Lagaan.

"The Kutch police will take help of police commissioners of Mumbai and Bangalore to deliver the warrants to Aamir and others," sources in the forest department said.

A Bhuj court had issued bailable warrants against Aamir Khan, director of the movie Ashutosh Gowarikar, Aamir's former wife Reena Dutta, executive director Srinivas Rao and photogrpher Ashok Mehta on March 27.

Chief Judicial Magistrate court had also directed all the five to remain present before it on April 15.

The complaint against Khan and others was filed in the court by deputy forest officer J V Vyas, as they had not responded to the notices sent by the forest department asking them to remain present for questioning, sources said.

"The court has issued bailable warrants of Rs 5,000 for each. But if they do not remain present on April 15, the court can issue non-bailable warrants," they added.

One of the five persons, Ashok Mehta lives in Bangalore, while other four are from Mumbai and bailable warrants will be delivered to them by the police, sources further said.

Commercial filming of Chinkara, a Schedule I protected animal under the Wildlife Protection Act, without taking due permission is banned.

In the movie Lagaan, shooting was held mostly in Kutch, Chinkara footage was taken without the permission of the forest department, the sources said.

Following a fresh complaint filed by wildlife NGO Youth Nature Club, the forest department re-opened the case.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who has been sentenced to five years in jail for poaching, has been given permission by the Jodhpur High Court to travel to London for the unveiling of his statue at Madam Tussauds Wax Museum, his lawyer said.

Dipesh Mehta, the actor's lawyer, confirmed that he would fly to London January 14.

"He will unveil the statue the same day and return the next day," Mehta said.

Salman's wax statue will join the statues of other Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai.

The actor, currently out on bail, was found guilty of poaching a chinkara, an endangered species of deer, near Jodhpur in September 1998 while filming for the movie Hum Saath Saath Hain.

A lower court convicted Salman for the offence on February 17, 2007.

The Bishnoi community of Rajasthan, traditional custodians of the natural environment, had taken up the matter against Salman.
