Mumbai: Salman Khan was found guilty on Wednesday in the 2002 hit-and-run case by a Sessions Court here.
Delivering the verdict, Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande said: "You were driving the car," adding Salman was under the influence of alcohol and behind the wheels without a licence. He said all charges stood proven.
As the court delivered the verdict, Salman had tears in his eyes and stood silently in the dock. After the conviction, his lawyer began arguments on quantum of punishment in the case. A tight security blanket was thrown around the court, where Salman's family including brothers Arbaaz, Sohail and sister Arpita Khan had arrived early this morning ahead of the verdict.
On September 28, 2002, Salman's Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into a roadside bakery in Bandra West, close to his seafront home in Galaxy Apartments, leaving four people sleeping outside injured. One of them died later.
