Salman Khan Driver Ashok Singh

The prosecution in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving Salman Khan has refuted in the Bombay High Court the Bollywood actor's defence that his driver Ashok Singh was driving the car and pointed out that this claim was made only towards the end of the trial.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan's lawyer today reiterated his main defence in the 2002 hit-and- run case that it was the actor's family driver Ashok Singh who was driving the car and not Mr Khan himself.

Picking holes in prosecution arguments in the 2002 hit-and-run case, the lawyer defending convicted filmstar Salman Khan on Thursday sought to know in Bombay High Court why police had not recorded the statement of his driver when they interrogated him after the mishap.

Salman's lawyer argued that the lower court wrongly rejected the actor's defence that it was his driver Ashok Singh and not he who was driving the car at the time of mishap

As actor Salman Khan was pronounced guilty of running over homeless men sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai in 2002, the man who owned responsibility for the accident, his driver Ashok Singh, was present in court.

Actor Salman Khan will not go to jail today. The Mumbai High Court has granted him interim bail for two days, after a Sessions Court sentenced him to five years in prison for culpable homicide in a 2002 hit and run case.

Actor Salman Khan has arrived at the Mumbai sessions court, which will give verdict on whether he is guilty of running over pavement dwellers with his SUV 13 years ago. One person had died and four were injured.

Flanked by his body guards, the actor stood in one corner of the court for over five hours as the prosecution lawyer called his driver a "liar" for giving false evidence.

The 13-year-old case took a sensational turn as the driver, Ashok Singh, told the court that he was responsible for the accident and that he "felt bad that Salman had to go through all the trouble"
