Bollywood actor Salman Khan could face up to 10 years in prison for allegations that he drove his car into a group of homeless people, which killed one man.
Salman Khan will be tried for homicide for his alleged involvement in a fatal road accident which happened more than 10 years ago, a court has ruled – which means he could face 10 years imprisonment.
The Indian actor was earlier being tried for the lesser offence of causing death by negligence, which carries a maximum punishment of two years in jail.
It’s believed that Monday’s court decision has come as a blow to the Bollywood star.
One man was killed and another three were injured in the incident that alleges Salman drove his car into a group of homeless people who were sleeping rough on a Mumbai street in September 2002. The trial will begin on 19th July 2013.
