Actor Salman Khan appeared in a Mumbai court today (April 1) in connection with the hit-and-run case, the retrial of which has been adjourned to April 28. The actor was present to file an application stating he would not be available on April 8, the date the retrial was originally adjourned to.
The retrial of the case was scheduled to begin on March 26. Three witnesses who were to be examined in court that day failed to appear after which the trial was then adjourned to April 8. Mr Khan was exempted from appearing in court.
The actor is accused of killing one person and injuring four others when he drove his SUV over some people sleeping on the pavement in Bandra in 2002.
The case has gone from court to court with arguments centred around whether Mr Khan was driving the car that day or not. The Mumbai police say they have enough evidence against him.
