Bollywood superstar Salman Khan suffered a major setback as a Mumbai court on Monday rejected his revision application in connection with a hit-and-run case of 2002. He would now be tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
The actor had sought review of the order of a Bandra magistrate court challenging the additional charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Now there would be a trial against Salman in a sessions court.
There were a number of witnesses who had deposed in the court saying that the actor was driving fast and he was under the influence of alcohol. The prosecution had alleged that he had lived in Bandra all his life and was aware of the topography and that people slept on the footpath.
The defence had argued that the steering wheel of the Land Cruiser, he was driving, got locked. Salman's lawyer argued that the magistrate should have waited till the arguments were concluded in the court before passing an order to add Section 304 of the IPC against the celebrity.
