Bombay HC adjourns hearing in Salman hit-and-run case till July 20

HC had stayed actor's conviction in hit-and-run case, had asked him to submit Rs 2 lakh as surety before going abroad for a show

The Bombay High Court on Monday adjourned the hearing on actor Salman Khan's 2002 hit-and-run case till July 20.

Khan, who got a respite in the hit-and- run case after the Bombay High Court stayed his five-year conviction, was earlier directed to submit Rs two lakh as cash security before leaving the country for a show.

 

A criminal court had earlier convicted Salman of culpable homicide on charges that he lost control of his car when driving under the influence of alcohol in 2002 and rammed into a group of people sleeping on a pavement.

Khan denies being behind the wheel, contradicting the testimony of several witnesses.

The actor's driver had in March said that he was driving the vehicle during the accident.
