Mumbai:
Actor Salman Khan was in a Mumbai court this morning where he will be tried for culpable homicide over a 2002 hit-and-run case; if found guilty, he could face upto 10 years in jail.
Mr Khan's Toyota Land Cruiser drove over five people sleeping on a pavement in suburban Mumbai. One person was killed; four others were injured.
The prosecutor claimed today that Mr Khan, 47, was driving drunk when the accident took place and that he "ran away" from the scene of the alleged crime.
The Bollywood mega-star was accompanied by his two sisters today. The case will next be heard on Wednesday, when charges are likely to be framed against him.
Mr Khan was earlier being tried under a lesser charge of rash and negligent driving but prosecutors filed an application for the charges to be upgraded, which the court upheld in June.
In 1998, he spent three days in prison for killing the endangered black-buck deer in Rajasthan.
