December 17, 2015 11:40

A week after Salman Khan was acquitted in the 2002-hit-and-run case, corporate lawyer Janhavi Gadkar, accused in a drunken driving case, has been given back her driving licence.

According to a report in the Hindustan Times, the sessions court ordered the police to return her driving licence.

Gadkar was reportedly allowed to take her licence back after she submitted the required endorsement from the RTO. The court had allowed the car to be returned to her last week, and she can use the car without changing its colour.

Gadkar was granted bail against a surety of Rs 30,000 on August 5, after spending 57 days in jail. Along with other charges, she is charged with culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.
