A case of rash and drunken driving has been registered against Khan in

officers arrived to question him.But a few hours later, he turned himself in for
questioning at a city police station.
Protected The accident happened around 0300 local time.
Khan has been in trouble with the police before
Police are continuing to question Khan, whose Toyota Land Cruiser was
involved in the incident when it lost control near a roadside bakery in the
northern suburb of Bandra.
Police say Khan was driving the vehicle and was accompanied by his
personal bodyguard, provided by the Bombay police.
He was given protection after receiving threats from the Bombay underworld
in recent weeks.
One man who was sleeping outside the bakery was killed on the spot. Three
others, including two children, were seriously injured.
It is not the first time Salman Khan has been in the news for the wrong
reasons.
He has been arrested before for the illegal hunting and killing of a deer - that
case is still with the courts.
Last week he was in the news for allegedly beating up his girlfriend, the
reigning Bollywood Queen and a former Miss World Aishwarya Rai.
In an interview to the Times of India on Friday, Miss Rai said she had ended
her relationship with Khan.
In the interview, Miss Rai also said she endured physical violence at the
hands of the actor but decided to end their relationship once she realised he
was also cheating on her.

There seems to be no respite for Salman Khan. A hit-and-run case, in which
Salman is accused of ramming his SUV into a bakery, killing one person and
injuring four others, is back to haunt the actor. On Monday (14th March, 2011),
the prosecution moved an application before the Bandra magistrate’s court to
enhance the charges against him. The prosecution also sought permission to
apply section 304 II of the Indian Penal Code under which Salman will be
tried in a sessions court.
Salman Khan was taken into custody in the early hours of September 28,
2002, and booked under section 304 (A) for a rash and negligent driving as he
was also found to be driving under the influence of alcohol. The trial of the
case began only in 2005. If found guilty, the Dabangg star could face
maximum punishment up to 10 years in jail.
Of the 64 witnesses in the case, 11 have been examined by the prosecution of
which two, Ravindra Patil (Salman’s police guard) and Ramasray Pandey
(witness to the incident), have turned hostile. The prosecution in its
application has claimed that there is sufficient direct and circumstantial
evidence on record to prove the actor guilty under the enhanced charges.
The defence will file its reply on March 22 when the case will be heard in
court
Salman’s trouble with the law doesn’t end here. The actor still has a case
pending against him in the high court for poaching black bucks in Mathiana,
near Jodhpur. In a recent interview, Salman had claimed that he wasn’t even
around when the event happened. It was only last month that the court
allowed Salman to go abroad without seeking permission from the court
each time.

- SHAME! SALMAN HAS LEARNED FROM HIS MISTAKES !
HE HAS BECOME OLDER AND MORE MATURE ! I LOVE YOU 4 EVER !!! - I Salman Khan is responsible for the death and injury of others, then it is right that he shoud be tried and pay for the harm that he caused. If these are false charges, then he should be freed totally…and immediately. If he is guilty as charged then the court should not prolong the case, but rather expedite it and come to some conclusion one way or another. They (the courts and police) are dragging this along slowly and by doing so, they are punishing Salman deliberately. This way he is not allowed to get on with his life and have a happy life. They are keeping this hanging over his head. They don’t have the right to do so.
I pray to God to expedite this case and bring Divine Justice to everyone involved, and grant Divine Mercy Love and Grace to everyone involved in this case.
Thank you God. - CORRECTION
My last comment should read: ‘IF Salman Khan is responsible, not I’ - Salman Khan is older and obviously wiser about a lot of things. His is involved in humanitarian ventures that I believe comes from his heart. This shows some maturity and evolution of the soul. Please let him get on with his life and grow and become the man that God put him here to be. God Bless you Salman Khan. I love you.
I was at the library and saw the movie VEER and was ‘drawn’ to pick it…at that time, I didn’t even know you exist. Since then, I’ve seen a few other of your movies and I love them. I wish you all the best in this life. Never give up and be the best you can be. - He deserves to be hanged for his crimes. He killed animals and people. He abused women. He hit Aishwarya. He was a psycho. A retard.
May be he has changed now. But that doesn’t mean he can be let off so easily. If you have committed an offence, you have to be punished no matter what. If people were to be let off because they have changed, more than 80% prisoners would say they have changed. - Ash ist eine Frau die mit jedem in bollywood im *** war! Salman hat sich sehr verbessert
- Salman should be punished. He should atleast be guilty because by virtue of being a celebrity, even if he gets a 10 year sentence or whatever, he can roam freely like Sanjay Dutt. He is doing all this charity only to cover up his dirty work and all the ‘kaants’ he has done. The way he shows off looks like as if he is the best actor or something. Just because of Dabangg, he is flying high and success has gone to his head big time. Since everyone has forgotten his back to back 3 flops. Anyways, the point is he should be punished. Come what may!
- Salman should be given this kind of punishment just because he is famous, Rash Driving is so common in India and most of them have also been done by GOVERNMENT SERVANT, Check out in the daily newspaper how many Bus Drivers kill people due to their rash driving, Accident on road sometimes due to rash driver or due to rage drive has been done early before Salman’s case and is still on, but all those who did this were left out on bail after paying having fine.
So giving Salman such a huge punishment is not at all right, our Law shouldn’t do it just because he is famous, after all he too is a human behind that famous face, and he had already been punished for this case,
I request that the Law should make him pay heavy fine, and dis-charge the case.
My prayers are with Salman and his family and my God will not let me down.
Nothing will happen to him,
Pretty - Don’t worry, salman will anyway get a bail because he will bribe the entire judicial system. hehe!!
- Hi Salman Bhai God is with U I’ll pray for U God Bless U Lov U
