The hearing of the long pending hit and run case of Salman Khan is going to be take place very soon. A Magistrate’s court today accepted the plea of the Maharashtra government that he should be tried under section 304 (II) of Indian Penal Code (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).
The court heard several witnesses between 2006 and 2011 but in March 2011 the prosecution asked for the more serious charge to be reinstated. This latest order is a response to that application.
The actor is currently being tried for the lesser offence of "death caused by negligence". He could face 10 years in prison for the more serious charge. He denies the charges and has said he will challenge the latest order.
Late on the night of 28 September 2002, Khan's Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into the American Express bakery in the Bandra area of Mumbai, authorities say. The vehicle ran over five people sleeping on the streets, killing one of them.
