Salman case: Analyst says he received less blood than stated

February 12, 2015 20:40

A chemical analyst today deposed before the sessions court here, which is hearing the 2002 hit-and-run case allegedly involving Salman Khan, that he had received a vial purportedly containing 6 ml blood of the Bollywood actor but found it had only 4 ml of the sample.

The blood sample of the actor, who was allegedly drunk when he rammed his SUV onto a pavement, killing one person, had been sent for chemical analysis after the incident.

Replying to a question by Salman's lawyer Srikant Shivade, Balashankar, the analyst, said he was not aware where the 2 ml of the sample blood disappeared. Balshankar had earlier told the court the sample had 62 mg of alcohol, double the permissible limit.

A person who consumes alcohol would normally have 30 mg per 100 ml but it may increase by 40 per cent if the person is on medication.

To another question, the analyst said the sample bottle had a label which read `Salman Khan' and not `Salman Salim Khan' as put by police in the court case papers.
