Days after mid-day traced the identity and reported about the mystery constable with buckle number 2985, questions continue to linger over the initial handling of Salman Khan's hit-and-run case in 2002.

Salman Khan was acquitted by the Bombay High Court on Thursday in a 13-year-old hit and run case overturning his conviction by a sessions court.

On Twitter, several of Salman Khan's friends including Anupam Kher and Rimi Sen rushed to post updates about how thrilled they were. However, Bollywood's biggest guns have so far been silent, unlike the concerted closing of ranks in May when the actor was convicted by a Sessions Court

The Bombay High Court on Thursday acquitted actor Salman Khan, saying that he cannot be convicted on the basis of the evidence produced in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

A bench of Justice FMI Kalifulla and Justice Amitava Roy refused to entertain the plea saying the order of Bombay High Court doesn't require interference with. The actor was granted bail by the high court on the very day he was convicted and sentenced by the sessions court

The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a petition seeking cancellation of bail of actor Salman Khan who was convicted and sentenced in a hit and run case.

Evidence suggests Salman Khan was driving his car when it rammed into a shop in Bandra in 2002 killing one person and injuring four others sleeping outside, the prosecution today told the Bombay High Court, hearing the actor's appeal against his conviction by a lower court for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

In an interesting twist to arguments in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, his lawyer argued in the Bombay High Court today, that the victim died not because of the actor's car running over him, but as the vehicle came crashing down on him when it was being lifted by a crane.

"We strongly believe that the tyre, a vital piece of evidence, has been tampered with," said Salman Khan's lawyer Amit Desai.
