Salman Khan is accused of ramming his car, while drunk, into a roadside bakery in suburban Bandra in the early hours of September 28, 2002, killing one person and injuring four others. The maximum sentence he can get is a ten years’ jail term, on the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Police have fortified the court in order to restrain Salman’s fans from entering the premises with a view to avoiding overcrowding, sessions court sources said. Only media persons, lawyers and the court staff would be allowed inside the court, the sources said.

The film industry is also keeping its fingers crossed as an investment of about Rs 200 crore is riding on him. He is currently busy filming Kabir Khan’s ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’.

Salman Khan had committed to do four others films, including ‘Dabangg 3’ and ‘Entry Mein No Entry’, but these were only at the stage of announcement.
