Salman's 2002 hit-and-run case retrial today

April 28, 2014 11:57

The re-trial of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's infamous 2002 hit-and-run case is likely to be heard today by the sessions court in Mumbai.

The case was deferred by the court earlier this month till April 28, as the prosecution sought time to produce witnesses in view of police deployment on election duty.

Sessions Judge D W Deshpande had asked the prosecution to produce on April 28 the first witness who was injured in the mishap in which the actor was involved, followed by eye witnesses in May.

On March 26, three witnesses failed to turn up as they were either not available or untraceable making this the second occasion when the fresh trial has not begun in the case.

The superstar is facing the charges of running over his Toyota Land Cruiser on people sleeping on a footpath outside a bakery in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002, killing one and injuring four others.
