What was Salman Khan’s Hit-and-Run case?

In 2015, Salman Khan was charged with drinking and driving. He was accused of ramming his car into a bakery shop in suburban Bandra which led to a pedestrian sleeping on a footpath dying and leaving four others injured on 28th September 2002. He was then convicted of 5-year imprisonment by a session court which was later relived by the Bombay High Court in December 2015.

Veteran screenwriter and Salman’s father Salim Khan had then spoken about Salman getting freed from all accusations.

He told the news agency PTI via NDTV, “Everybody is happy. Every person who is close to Salman emotionally is happy. I am happy and relieved. “People are saying he has just walked away. He has been in jail for a few days. He has spent over ? 20-25 crores (on the case). Besides this, what about the tension that he and everyone went through all this time?”

Justice A R Joshi, pronouncing the judgement back then said, “The appeal filed by Salman Salim Khan is allowed. He is acquitted of all charges against him. His conviction and sentence stand quashed.” Salman after coming out also tweeted about this incident and wrote, “I accept the decision of the judiciary with humility. I thank my family, friends & fans for their support & prayers.”

This was not the first time when Salim addressed the ordeal of his son. When the Dabangg actor was spending his days in the Jodhpur jail, Salim was quoted saying, “343 qaidi number – Mai Jodhpur gaya (Prisoner number 343, when I went to Jodhpur ), they were talking about prisoners. The people told me, ‘Hukum aap baitho (Please sit, sir.)’ and they were talking, ‘343 ko le aao, 343 aa gaya’.Wo aya to 343 Salman tha (Bring 343, 343 came and it was Salman).”
