Salman's lawyer Amit Desai goes back to the main argument in the defence statement that it has not been proven that Salman was driving the car.

So, the defence is now pointing fingers at Kamal Khan after its stand that Salman's driver Ashok Singh was behind the wheel that night.

the man who owned responsibility for the accident, his driver Ashok Singh, was staring at a perjury charge.

Ashok Singh drove the actor to court this morning. The prosecution is likely to file charges against him for making a false statement in court.

Ashok Singh in March told the court that he was driving the actor's Toyota Land Cruiser on the night of September 28, 2002. While convicting Salman on Wednesday, Judge Deshpande threw out the argument telling the actor, "You were driving the car. Ashok Singh driving the car is improbable."

Ashok Singh was aired by the defence, 12 years after the incident. Singh had told the court, "I was driving when the tyre burst and the brake jammed. The car went over the steps. I saw that people were trapped beneath. I got out of the right side and Salman too got out of the right side as the left door was jammed." He said the police never listened to him and blamed Salman Khan.
