Hit-and-Run Case - 1998
The exact date of the Salman Khan hit-and-run incident was September 28, 2002.
Despite some references mistakenly saying 1998, the actual incident occurred in 2002 in Bandra, Mumbai.
Salman Khan's 1998 hit-and-run case is a significant legal matter in India, stemming from an incident on September 28, 2002, when his Toyota Land Cruiser ran into the American Express Bakery on Hill Road in Bandra, Mumbai. The crash resulted in the death of one person, Nurullah Mehboob Sharif, and injuries to four others who were sleeping on the pavement outside.
Initially, Salman Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving. In 2015, the Bombay Sessions Court convicted him for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, sentencing him to five years in prison. The court concluded that Khan was driving under the influence of alcohol, causing the death and injuries.
