Actor Salman Khan, who is charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2002 hit-and-run case, can face a jail term of up to 10 years if sentenced. And the possibility of him being sentenced is high as the three key eyewitnesses have told the sessions court that they saw the actor getting down from the driver's seat of an SUV on the night of September 28, 2002 that ran over a group of people in Bandra.
One person was killed and four others were injured at that incident. A Hindu report says that the eyewitnesses — Mannu Khan, Mohammed Kalim Iqbal Pathan and Muslim Shaikh — were among those injured. They were all workers of the American Bakery outside which the accident took place. While Salman's lawyers have been claiming that he was not at the wheel, eyewitnesses have given a different version. In fact, an eyewitness has claimed that he had received a threat call. If convicted, the actor faces imprisonment of up to 10 years in jail. We at TOI.com bring you the possibilities of what may happen if the actor is jailed.
