Bollywood actor Salman Khan who has been convicted of all the charges in 2002 hit and run case is on the relief side for few days more. Today on June 15, Bombay High Court adjourned the hearing of Salman Khan’s appeal against conviction on July 1.
On May 8, Salman Khan was granted fresh bail after court suspended five years jail sentence in hit and run case. The actor was convicted under all charges including under Section 304 A of the Indian Penal Code (rash and negligent driving); 279 (rash driving); 337 (causing minor injuries); 338 (causing major injuries) 427 (negligence) in connection with the case.
Earlier this month, Salman Khan who was asked to take permission from the court before leaving abroad attended AIBA awards in Dubai. Reportedly, he also submitted Rs 2 Lakh as a security before leaving for the show in Dubai.
Salman Khan’s 13 years long case was argued where the actor denied he wasn’t driving the car at the time of accident. Whereas, the court also heard arguments from the prosecution where the evidence and witnesses proved that Salman Khan was guilty. Punishable under section 304 II of Indian Penal Code, Salman was proved guilty with every evidence.
On the work front, Salman Khan has geared up for the first trailer launch of his much talked film Bajrangi Bhaijaan on June 18, directed by Kabir Khan. Apart from this, the actor will wrap up the shooting of Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo opposite Sonam Kapoor and will soon start shooting for his next venture Sultan.
