2002 hit-and-run case: ‘No evidence to prove Salman Khan was driving car’

In the court of Justice A R Joshi, senior lawyer Amit Desai continued from where he had left during the last hearing.

Instead of relying on the testimonies of the 27 witnesses and examining eyewitness Kamal Khan, Desai argued, the prosecution was adamant on bringing the evidence of Dr Sanap, who now lives in the US. Dr Sanap had conducted the post mortem of Nurullah, who died in the accident. He argued the prosecution wants to bring on record the evidence of Salman’s police bodyguard Ravindra Patil — who had filed the FIR in the case and had later died. Desai also maintained that nothing from the testimony of Rajendra Kadam, the cop who recorded Patil’s FIR, showed that no efforts were made to trace Kamal Khan.
