Not examining Kamaal Khan is a grave injustice: Salman's lawyer

15th October 2015

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's lawyer Amit Desai argued in Bombay High Court on Wednesay that the prosecution in Salman's 2002 Hit and Run Case have committed a grave injustice to him by not examining singer Kamaal Khan who was also present with him in the vehicle that very day.

Kamaal Khan was also present with Salman in the same vehicle when the latter's car ran over the people sleeping on the pavement killing one and injuring four others.

The prosecution 'solely relied' on the statement of Ravindra Patil, Salman's police bodyguard, who died in 2007," said Salman's lawyer Amit Desai.

The lawyer further argued, "Evidence must be recorded in the court and evidence must be recorded in the presence of accused. There were two eye-witnesses -- Kamaal Khan and Patil -- and in the absence of one, other should have been called."

Putting further light on Kamaal Khan's involvement in the mishap, the lawyer further added, "Kamaal Khan may have had more knowledge about the events as Patil accompanied the appellant (Salman) in the car while Kamaal Khan not only accompanied him in the car but also went with him to Rain Bar and Restaurant and JW Marriott Hotel just before the mishap."
