Eye witnesses say Salman was drunk and driving the car

Actor Salman Khan, accused of culpable homicide in the hit-and-run case, could be in trouble as two eye witnesses identified the actor in court today.

“Salman Khan was so drunk that he fell down, then got up and ran away from where his car ran over a group of people in Mumbai in 2002″ the first witness, Munnu Shaikh, who was also one of the survivors in the incident, testified before the court on Tuesday.

The second eye witness, Munnu Khan, said that he saw Salman getting out from the driver’s side of the Toyota Land Cruiser.

More than a decade ago, it was at around 2 am when Salman’s car drove onto a payment in suburban Bandra and ran over a group of people sleeping on the road. One person died and four were injured in the accident.

In December, a Mumbai court ordered a fresh trial for Salman, who is accused of culpable homicide in the hit-and-run case and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Salman was present for the hearing in a Mumbai court today.

  • 2 lungiwalas giving false statements…. Someone should do some research to clarify if these are their REAL IDs/ names or simply the work/ imagination/ creation of some unemployed chaiwala playing a Duplicate role by trying to frame bhai…!

    Such shameless act/ behavior can only come from them…!

  • bring it on! bring on ur fake witnesses.. he was so drunk that he fell down, wow! hights of exaggeration.. now these statements all the more proves that salman khan is being targeted by publicity hungry morons.. there are so many other cases going around i did not see them perturbed then.. these witnesses are just saying what they have been told to.. anyways justice will prevail n soon these fake witnesses will be behind the bars.. n as far as salman khan is concerned god is with him, he is god’s favourite child.. he has his fans n god’s blessings..

  • salman khan fell down becoz he was so drunk. how can a man drive when he is barely able to stand. and how can he run when if he was so much drunk. these line of allegations seem false and fabricated. there is something fishy going on with the witnesses.

  • After looking at their statements both the eye witnesses r looking drunk here instead of Salman.

  • Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has disappointed the poverty-stricken family of Bihar’s ‘Mountain Man’ Dasrath Manjhi, as neither did he provide financial help to them nor send his team to inquire about their requirements.

    Dashrath Manjhi is known for single-handedly cutting through a hill to make a road.

    His son Bhagirath is sad and pained after he failed to save his wife Basanti Devi, who died due to lack of medical care last month.

    “If hero (Aamir) could have provided financial help as he promised us, my wife may not have died. She died because of our abject poverty. Aamir has proved himself like leaders or officials, who promised help that never reached us,” Bhagirath told IANS over the phone of a local NGO member.

    Bhagirath said that he managed to perform ‘shradh’ (a ritual performed after a death) Friday thanks to financial help provided by Bodh Gaya-based People First Educational Charitable Trust.

    “It was they (Trust) who spent money to perform my wife’s shradh. I have no money to do that,” he said.

    Aamir Khan, who visited their village for his TV show “Satyamev Jayate” in February, promised to provide financial help to Dashrath’s daughter-in-law Basanti and son Bhagirath.

    In early March after Aamir’s visit hit the headlines, Shafi Ahmad, state co-ordinator of Aamir’s production house, said a team would soon visit the Dasrathnagar Dalit tola near Gahlaur in Gaya district, around 100 km from here, on behalf of the actor-filmmaker as he had requested that their requirements be taken care of.

    Aamir, during his visit, also assured Bhagirath and Basanti of help. Nearly two months after Aamir promised to help Basanti she died due to lack of proper medical treatment.

    Both of them had told Khan that they have been left in the lurch, ignored by politicians and officials despite repeated assurances of help.

    Bhagirath said that Basanti’s death sent shock waves through the village as it happened despite assurances of help from Aamir.

    However, the Trust that helped Bhagirath conduct Basanti’s shradh, has opened the Dasrath Manjhi non-formal school in Gahlaur. The school is being run by Basanti’s daughter-in-law Laksminiya Devi.

    Both Bhagirath and Basanti used to work in the village primary school as cooks for preparing the mid-day meal for children. Both of them were paid Rs.1,000 a month.

    Working day and night, Dasrath Manjhi had single-handedly carved out a 360 feet long, 30 feet high and 30 feet wide passage through a hill near Gahlaur with a hammer and chisel. He died in 2007 after battling cancer.

    The hill was between Attari and Wazirgunj blocks in Gaya district. Manjhi began his uphill task when his wife was injured and he had to take a detour around the mountains to reach the nearest hospital.

  • Not agree too much with both eye witnesses, Salman is HEARTTHROB of the nation. Hats off u…Salman.

  • i dont believe an inch on the witnesses. and we all know how the judicial system runs. we all too know how the lawyers teach the witnesses to give false statements. it could also be a case of rich vs poor. rich people use their power to subdue the poor and the poor use their angst against the rich to falsely frame them given a little opportunity. it seems a case of the latter. secondly the charges of culpable homicide seems bizarre. all these things are enough to convince me that something is highly wrong with the case right from the witnesses to the charges framed and also the NGO which has filed the case against salman khan. the case is in sessions court right now, then it will move to high court, then the supreme court. it will take another good 10 years to come to conclusion. nice way by the NGO to remain in news and by the lawyers to earn bread butter for 10 years. the name salman khan is enough to give them mileage for their evil aspirations.

  • Just 2 eye witnesses ? This is like nothing coz when our king does anything there are thousands of witnesses like wankhede stadium episode

  • I don’t know what to comment. Salman has a NGO which works for women n children. I dnt know whether these two ppl are wrong or ri8.but salman has changed a lot and helped many. However, i am shocked at@navin’s comment. How can one directly point on srkfan for giving statements of witness?

  • LOL! One or two Aamir fans pretending to support Salman, to win his massive fanbase’s favour! Playing politics just like their Mr. Satyamev Jayate!

  • Mental patients @Navin and @Sachin 11, you Bhojpuri fans can only give excuses.. Everyone knows that Sallu is Criminal.. Shame on you Bhojpuri morons for supporting such Criminals and Murderers who killed Innocent people..

  • Guys who defending salman here are sayin as if they themselves were present there and know the truth….common guys grow up…we all know salman is guilty here and all these years because of his power he is saved

  • i hope kick will be his last crap because after kick “JAIL HO” is coming ……… directed by supreme court with co actor sanjay dutt

  • Criminals should be hanged and beaten. Hope he goes to jail soon and KICK is shelved. As noone want to see a criminal film, except criminals.

  • SALMAN and his fans should be proud.
    A film JOLLY LLB made on their star has bagged a national award…..;-).

    Whos says SALMAN don’t win any award ????….:-D

  • I wish I am a superstar so that I could do whatever I want, still could get fans support. I agree to the statement that most Indians are emotional fools. When their idol do some wrong, atleast they should do is keep quiet, instead they are supporting wow!. And, abusing the survivor of the incident who appeared as a witness lol

  • no it doesn’t matter. even if our bhaijaan was driving and was heavily drunk, so what ?? ok he drove his car over those poor people sleeping on footpath so what ?? he is our bhaijaan and he can do anything. he can shoot anyone and but he shouldn’t get any punishment ever.

    he can murder but no one can give him punishment because he is our bhai, mera bhai, tumhara bhai, hum sabka bhai, universal bhai.
