Dead man's spirit still seems to follow Salman even after 11-years. In September 2002, Salman was allegedly driving a Toyota Land Cruiser that ran over a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra. One person was killed and four others were injured in the accident.

On Tuesday a Mumbai sessions court heard three applications in the hit and run case. On Salman's plea on unfair media coverage of the case, the court orally directed that the media should report on the case in a fair manner.

While hearing activist Santosh Daundkar's plea to transfer false evidence case from Bandra to the sessions court, the court said it did not have suo moto powers to transfer the case.

On Activist Abha Singh's plea to assist the Public Prosecutor the court said it could be considered only at the final arguments stage.


Salman Khan is being tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. A Mumbai sessions court framed charges against the popular Bollywood actor on July 24, 2013. Mr Khan had earlier been charged with a lesser offence of causing death by rash and negligent driving, which would have carried a maximum punishment of only two years in jail.

Eleven years ago, in September 2002, Mr Khan was allegedly driving a Toyota Land Cruiser that ran over a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra. One person was killed and four others were injured in the accident.
