Mumbai: The hit-and-run case involving actor Salman Khan is slated to resume in a local court on October 11 with the prosecution all set to examine a key witness.
The witness is among the four who were injured when the actor rammed his car into a bakery in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002. One person had also died in the mishap.
Of the 60 witnesses, five have already deposed. Among them were Ravindra Patil and Ramasray Pandey.
Patil was Salman's bodyguard and had accompanied him when the actor met with the accident, while Pandey was sleeping in a shop adjacent to the accident site.
The third witness was the one who had prepared panchnama at the site of the accident and the fourth was Shaikh Ibrahim, the cousin of the deceased, Narulla Salim Shaikh.
The fifth, Mohammed Abdul Rauf Shaikh was deposed on June 29.
The trial court has earlier allowed prosecution to cross-examine Mohammed Shaikh who had contradicted his police statement during his deposition.
Shaikh had told the court that he and few others were sleeping on the footpath when a car had rammed into the bakery injuring them.
While giving evidence, Shaikh had disowned a crucial portion of his police statement, saying he had not seen Salman getting down from the driver's seat of the car although in a statement to police earlier, he said he had seen the actor getting down from the driver's seat after the mishap.
