Making assumptions in Salman's case would be incorrect: NCP

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Majeed Memon on Wednesday said that making an assumption on Bollywood actor Salman Khan's hit-and-run case would be incorrect and added that the matter should be left to the court.

"After many years the verdict is coming in the case, everything completely depends on the court. The court will take a decision considering the evidences, but we should not make an assumption that is right or wrong in the case. We shall wait for the court's verdict," said Memon.

A Mumbai sessions' court is set to pronounce its verdict in the hit-and-run case against the actor this afternoon.

Salman's driver Ashok Singh had in March this year told the Mumbai sessions court that he was driving the car.

Salman, who deposed before the court in Mumbai last month in connection with this case, denied that he was drunk on the intervening night of September 27-28 in 2002 and that he was driving the car at the time of the accident.

The actor is accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the hit-and-run case, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison.

He has been booked under Section 304 A of the Indian Penal Code (rash and negligent driving), 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing minor injuries), 338 (causing major injuries) and 427 (negligence) in the case.
