The Bollywood star Salman Khan was found guilty in a hit and run accident 13 years ago that left a poor man dead and was sentenced a five-year jail.
Salman Khan, who broke into tears after listening the judgement was surrounded with his family and many other top Bollywood celebs who showed support, bail was asked immediately. He was released from the custody on his bail request till 8th May for the further proceeding about the bail on the given date.
Salman’s lawyer cleared that his driver was behind the wheel and the accident was due to burst of tyre and later Salman’s driver Ashok after 13 years suddenly claimed to be driving the car ,court rejected all the statements.
In sign of Khan’s stardom and popularity many fan’s were waiting outside the Bombay High court gate number 3 and Salman’s house too. But judge D.W Deshpande’s word at the start of the proceeding were blunt.
” You were driving the car and you consumed alcohol” Deshpande said to Salman.
Judge asked Salman “What do you have to say? Maximum Sentence of 10 years?” Salman says “You are the judge ; Whatever you say is correct “.
Salman khan is held guilty of all eight charges in 2002 hit and run case but he gets a 2 day interim bail from High court.

Really liked how you have described the court proceedings over a span of 12-13 years. Clearly prooves that no verdict is bigger than the law, and each person is equal before. (Y)
Thank you! Meghna 😀

Your article provided a good summary of all the court proceedings. Though the decision is delayed like all the other cases in India but it is a fair and just decision.
Thank you Anusha 😀

It takes 13 years to give the judgement but only 2-3 hour to grant the bail
Thank you! 😀
Thanks Abhinav ,I finally got aware of the actual full story of this case
Welcome Deepak! Do read my posts regularly and leave your feedbacks too 😀
This 5 yrs of jail may well prove to be useless if he gets a bail again. Remember our very own Munna Bhai.
Expecting a open letter (from u) To PMO INDIA in order to stop making this jurisdiction even funnier.
Still now people enjoy their nap on the streets and even now Drink n Drive is a common phenomenon throughout the country.will this DECLARED JUSTICE fetch the nation’s good? Nevertheless it took more than a decade to declare him guilty.
Correct, Shubhayan 😀 Thank you for your lovely feedback 😀
Good article
