Salman to go on trial again for hit-and-run case

March 26, 2014 09:18

The fresh trial in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving actor Salman Khan will begin today.

Although the prosecution has given a list of 64 witnesses, it would not examine all of them, said Public Prosecutor Jagannath Kenjalkar.

Salman has been accused of running over his Toyota Land Cruiser on a group of persons sleeping on a footpath outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in September 2002, killing one and injuring four others.

On December 5 last year, the court had ordered a fresh trial on the ground that the witnesses had not been examined in the context of the aggravated charge of culpable homicide, which was invoked against the actor midway through the proceedings.
