Victim died after car fell on him while being lifted: Salman's lawyer

October 30, 2015 21:07

In an interesting twist to arguments in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, his lawyer argued in the Bombay High Court today that the victim died not because of the actor's car running

over him, but as the vehicle came crashing down on him when it was being lifted by a crane.

Justice A R Joshi is hearing an appeal filed by Salman against the five-year jail term awarded to him on May 6 by a sessions court which found him guilty of ramming his car into a shop on September 28, 2002, killing one person and injuring four others who were sleeping outside.

Salman's lawyer Amit Desai alleged that the victim of the accident Narullah Mehboob Sharif died when the bumper detached after the car was being lifted by a crane. However, the trial court had not considered this.
