Bollywood star Salman Khan has been convicted in a 13-year-old hit and run case. A court in Mumbai held him guilty of running over people sleeping on the pavement with his SUV on September 28, 2002.

The 49-year-old actor faces 10 years in jail, the punishment for culpable homicide, the NDTV reported.

He has also been found guilty of endangering the life or personal safety of others, drunk driving, not informing the police and leaving the spot after the accident.
He is also accused of failing to report an accident involving his vehicle.

The charges carry punishment ranging from six months to up to 10 years in jail. Khan had told the court that his driver Ashok Singh was driving the car at the time of the accident. But the court said, "You were driving the car."

The prosecution presented 27 witnesses including the actor's bodyguard, the bar staff, policemen and a parking attendant. Khan's driver Ashok Singh was the lone defence witness, and he corroborated the actor's version and owned responsibility for the accident.

Does anyone out there also think MR will pay him a visit in jail? There is a high possibility of this happening.
