Salman Khan has been convicted in a 13-year-old hit and run case. A court in Mumbai held him guilty of running over people sleeping on the pavement with his SUV on September 28, 2002.
The 49-year-old actor faces 10 years in jail, the punishment for culpable homicide.
He has also been found guilty of endangering the life and personal safety of others, drunk driving, not informing the police and leaving the spot after the accident.
He is also accused of failing to report an accident involving his vehicle.
The charges carry punishment ranging from six months to up to 10 years in jail.
Salman Khan had told the court that his driver Ashok Singh was driving the car at the time of the accident. But the court said, "You were driving the car."
The prosecution presented 27 witnesses including the actor's bodyguard, the bar staff, policemen and a parking attendant.
Salman Khan's driver Ashok Singh was the lone defence witness, and he corroborated the actor's version and owned responsibility for the accident.
