[tps_footer]Our shutterbugs caught Salman Khan as he was entering the court in regards to the hit and run case.
Sachin Kadam, witness in the 2002 hit and run case involving Salman Khan retracted his police statement in a court, saying he had not said that Salman Khan had got down from the driver’s seat of his vehicle and ran away after the accident occurred in suburban Bandra.
Earlier, the witness had told police in a statement that he had seen Salman Khan getting down from the driver’s seat of his car and going away from the scene of the mishap. Sachin Kadam stated that he had only told the police that a big car came and rammed into the shutter of a shop.
Neel Sagar Hotel, where Sachin Kadam works, is just opposite to the bakery and laundry where Salman Khan‘s car had met with an accident on September 28, 2002, in which one person was killed and four others injured.
Sachin Kadam was confronted with his police statement but he went back on his own words saying he had not told the police about this. However, the witness was unable to say why the police had recorded a false version in his statement.
Public prosecutor Jagannath Kenjralkar told the court that Sachin Kadam should be declared as a hostile witness as he had not supported the prosecution. However, the court has yet to pass order on this plea.
Salman Khan too was present in the court along with his sister Alvira Agnihotri and bodyguard Shera.
If Salman Khan is proved guilty and charged of culpable homicide not amounting to murder then it would amount to a ten year sentence.[/tps_footer]
