Mumbai: A Mumbai court on Monday fixed September 5 as the next date of hearing in actor Salman Khan 2002 hit-and-run case. The actor was not present in the court as he was exempted from personal appearance in the last hearing.
The charges in the case had been fixed last month and if found guilty, the actor could face upto 10 years of imprisonment. The court charged Salman for culpable homicide not amounting to murder - which attracts ten years of imprisonment. The actor has pleaded not guilty in court.
The June 24 order was a major setback to the actor, who was earlier tried by Bandra metropolitan magistrate court for a lesser charge of rash and negligent act causing death, under section 304 A of IPC, which attracts two years of imprisonment.
One person was killed and four others were injured when the Land Cruiser, allegedly driven by Salman Khan, crushed a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in the early hours on September 28, 2002.
