Prime Witness In Salman’s Case Turns Hostile
December 25, 2006
A prime witness in the hit-and-run case involving actor Salman Khan did not support the prosecution in the trial court and was declared hostile. I uess it had to be that way. Anyways, Mohammed Muslim Niyat Shaikh, who was injured when the actor allegedly rammed his car into a bakery on September 28, 2002, told the court that he had not seen the person on the wheel as he was hurt in the mishap and the passersby had surrounded him. I wonder then on what basis did police blame Sallu bhai for?
The prosecution immediately declared him hostile and Salman’s lawyer Dipesh Mehta then cross examined him.
The witness told Mehta that he was injured in leg and he could not see the person who was driving the car when the mishap occurred.
On January 3, prosecution would examine another witness who was also injured in the mishap.
One person was killed and four injured when actor Salman khan allegedly rammed his car into the bakery on the ill-fated day. God bless the four those were injured. And may the one who dies rest in peace.
I hope Salman is freed from all these cases. We surely don’t want to see both the big S bhai (Sallu and Sanju Baba) behind the bars!
