Salman Khan 2002 hit-and-run case: Twitterati praises Indian judiciary #SalmanVerdict

Most Twitterati were seen supporting the Indian Judiciary which convicted the actor

Salman Khan was found guilty on Wednesday in the 2002 hit-and-run case by a Sessions Court. Delivering the verdict, Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande said: “You were driving the car,” adding Salman was under the influence of alcohol and behind the wheels without a licence. He said all charges stood proven. On September 28, 2002, Salman’s Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into a roadside bakery in Bandra West, close to his seafront home in Galaxy Apartments, leaving four people sleeping outside injured. One of them died later.

After the verdict was proclaimed, Twitter started flooding with #SalmanVerdict verdicts. Most Twitterati were seen supporting the Indian Judiciary which convicted the actor. Although it took the case 13 years to deliver justice Tweeples are glad that he has been convicted of all charges and been taken into custody and justice prevailed. (READ-Salman Khan 2002 hit-and-run case: B-Town prays for Salman Khan)

The actor had earlier denied the charges and told the court that he was not driving the car. But the court rejected that statement. On September 28, 2002, Salman’s vehicle Toyoto Land Cruiser rammed into a roadside bakery in Bandra West, close to his seafront home in Galaxy Apartments. Four persons sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery were injured. One of them later died. Salman was arrested the same day by the Bandra police and given bail by a Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate’s court. (With input from IANS)
