Actor Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison for Deadly Hit-and-Run

Date:

Bollywood Actor sentenced to 5 years for deadly hit-and-run.

According to reports, an Indian court sentenced Bollywood film star Salmar Khan to five years in prison Wednesday for killing a man in a hit-and-run accident.

From NBC News:

The Mumbai court convicted Khan, 49, of culpable homicide on charges he lost control of his Toyota Landcruiser when driving under the influence of alcohol in 2002, and rammed into a group of people sleeping on a pavement.

Khan, instantly recognizable by his muscular build, denied being behind the wheel, despite the testimony of several witnesses. In March, the actor’s driver said he had driven, while Khan rode in the passenger seat.

The sentencing could derail major projects set to film in Bollywood. It is important to point out that this is not Khan’s first brush with the law. In 2007, he was jailed for nearly a week for shooting an endangered animals on a hunting trip.
