2002 hit-and-run case: Salman to appear before Mumbai court today

Bollywood actor Salman Khan will appear before a Mumbai Sessions Court on Friday in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case. The Mumbai Sessions Court had rejected his review petition on June 24. As a result, he will now be tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 304 of IPC. Khan was earlier tried by a magistrate under lesser charge of causing death by negligence (Section 304A of IPC), that provides for a maximum punishment of two years in jail.
