One of the five leading Indian film stars accused of illegal hunting in the state of Rajastan has been refused bail and placed under arrest by a court in Jodhpur, as public outrage over the incident increases.

The actor, Salman Khan, and his colleagues are alleged to have killed two black buck and an Indian gazelle during a break in filming for a Hindi movie.

The other four have been granted bail.

The authorities have conducted a fresh post mortem on the black buck -- an endangered species -- and now say the animals were shot.

They initially said they'd died of other causes.

The incident has led to public protests against the film stars.
