Victim's kin move SC against Salman Khan's acquittal in hit-and-run case

New Delhi, Feb 11: Following the acquittal of Salman Khan in the infamous 2002 hit-n-run case by the Bombay High Court in December, 2015, the victim's family have moved the Supreme Court against Salman Khan's decision.

The plea was filed by Noorullah Shaikh's family against Salman's acquittal in the apex court. Earlier, the Maharashtra Government had also filed a fresh appeal against the actor in the Supreme Court.

The high court, in its verdict passed on December 10, 2015, had held that prosecution had failed to prove "beyond reasonable doubt" that the actor was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident and was drunk.

On May 6, 2015 a sessions court had convicted Salman in the case in which one person was killed and four others were injured when his vehicle had crushed them when they were asleep on a pavement outside a laundry.
