Hit-and-run case: Salman Khan's driver says he was driving the car

Appearing before a Mumbai court in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case, Bollywood star Salman Khan's driver said on Monday he was at the driver's wheel when the actor's white Toyota Land Cruiser mowed down a pavement dweller. While cross-examining him, special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat, however, alleged that Singh was paid huge sum of money to protect the actor and give false statement before the court. In the early hours of September 28, 2002, Khan's vehicle had hit the American Express Bakery in suburban Bandra, close to his sea-front home in Galaxy Apartments and killed one.
