Mumbai : Superstar Salman Khan has been found guilty in the 2002 hit-and-run case and the sessions court here is scheduled to pronounce the quantum of punishment on Thursday.
Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande reading out his judgment said “all charges have been proved against the actor“.
“You were driving the car, without a licence and you were under the influence of alcohol,” the judge told Salman, who was present in the court.
The actor had earlier denied the charges and told the court that he was not driving the car. But the court rejected that statement.
On September 28, 2002, Salman’s vehicle Toyoto Land Cruiser rammed into a roadside bakery in Bandra West, close to his seafront home in Galaxy Apartments. Four persons sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery were injured. One of them later died.
Salman was arrested the same day by the Bandra police and given bail by a Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate’s court.
