The Bombay high court on December 10  acquitted Bollywood Dabangg  Salman Khan of all criminal charges in the 2002 hit-and-run case. The prosecution had not established its case against the actor beyond a reasonable doubt as is required under criminal law. The court has come to conclusion that the prosecution has failed to bring material on record to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant (Salman Khan) was driving and under the influence of alcohol, also, whether the accident occurred due to bursting (of tyre) prior to the incident or tyre burst after the incident.
