Now, after months of hearing and arguments from both the sides, the Bombay High today on December 10, finally has given the verdict in Salman Khan‘s favour. The court today has stated that the prosecution failed to establish any evidence against Salman Khan and that the actor was driving under the influence of alcohol. On the basis of the evidence submitted by the prosecution, Salman Khan cannot be convicted, said judge while dictating final verdict today.
The court also questioned the credibility of the key prosecution witness of Salman Khan’s bodyguard Ravindra Patil who had said that the actor was driving drunk and had ignored his warnings. The court said, it was only Ravindra Patil who said it and that the case cannot be reliable only on it.
Also not questioning singer Kamaal Khan who was present in the car at the time of the accident was also an error, court said.
