Salman Khan to appear in court today
MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Salman Khan will appear before a Mumbai sessions court today in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case.
The Mumbai sessions court had previously rejected his review petition on 24 June. As a result, he will now be tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 of IPC.
Khan was earlier tried by a magistrate under lesser charge of causing death by negligence (Section 304A of IPC), that provides for a maximum punishment of two years in jail.
The Bombay High Court had earlier held that Section 304 part II of the Indian Penal Code (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) was not applicable in this case and that the actor be tried under 304 A of IPC (rash and negligent driving) and other relevant sections.
The metropolitan magistrate‘s court in Bandra had framed charges against the actor under Sections 304 A of the IPC (rash and negligent driving), 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing minor injuries), 338 (causing major injuries) and 427 (negligence).
Salman‘s Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle had rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra killing one and injuring four persons who were sleeping on a pavement on 28 September 2002.
