Salman Khan photographed in Mumbai.
The Supreme Court on August 31 dismissed a petition seeking cancellation of bail of Bollywood actor Salman Khan who was convicted and sentenced in a hit-and-run case.
A bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu declined the plea by one of the alleged victims associated with the case and belonging to Mumbai Police.
The petitioner had challenged the Bombay High Court order granting bail to Mr Khan.
Mr Khan was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on the very day he was convicted and sentenced by a sessions court. (Also Read:

One person was killed and four injured when the actor's car ran over them while they were sleeping on a pavement.
