Superstar Salman Khan’s 2002 Hit & Run Case hearing has taken a new twist now. The actors lawyer Amit Desai has alleged that the victim Narullah Mehboob Sharif died when the bumper detached after the car was being lifted by a crane. Salman Khan had made an appeal in the High Court against the jail term awarded to him on May 6 by a sessions court. The court held him guilty of killing one and injuring four others when his car rammed into a shop.

Salman’s lawyer Amit Desai said, “It was not a frontal hit… the left side has scratched the shutter. Thereafter, to help out those who were lying underneath the car, a crane was brought according to the evidence given by police inspector Rajendra Kadam. Prosecution witness 11 has told the trial court that until the car was lifted, he was crying for help and so was Narullah…. This proves that Narullah was alive after the mishap and it also proves that it was not a frontal hit as the bumper was intact….thereafter, the rescue operation started and the crane was called.”
Amit Desai further added, “Had it been a frontal hit, the bumper would have been completely damaged as the damage is on the right side of the bumper. This means the hook was attached here….the car slipped away and the bumper was broken on the right side. Also to be noticed was that there were no blood stains on the pillows and bed sheet of the victims who were sleeping outside the shop on the pavement.”
