Salman Khan death by driving charges upped to culp homicide

Friday, 1 February 2013 By Legally India Bar, Bench & Litigation

The criminal charges against Bollywood superstar Salman Khan have been increased to culpable homicide by the Bandra metropolitan magistrate, the Mumbai Mirror reported today.

The paper also included a good potted history of the more than 10-year-long trial against the actor who allegedly killed a number of pavement dwellers in Mumbai driving while intoxicated. [Mumbai Mirror]

Reportedly the case was used by arguing counsel in another drink driving case in 2010 to avoid the culpable homicide charge.

Thanks for your feedback but you don't think this is an important case concerning justice delivery in India, deserving of a small three-paragraph write-up?

If it takes 10 years to close a criminal trial of a celebrity, in what should be an open or shut case, what does that say about the quality of the criminal justice system?

Great work, Kian.

A very important report has been brought up, the accused is still dabanging around... ! seems like anything can be bought with money and connections...
