The Outsider Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I would appreciate someone's opinion based on common sense if that someone has some reasonable knowledge of experience of what he is talking about. How many times we hear about a film star accused of a brawl or some other petty crime and we think "oh, he must have done it. These film stars are so arrogant!" Do we ever stop to think that sometimes even film stars can be victims of their own fame? Can a common man accuse a star of something bad just to get his name in the papers? It's possible, but we all have a tendency of giving in to the sensational. As I wrote above, try answering these questions using your common sense and let me know why you still think that there is a good chance that Salman Khan is not guilty: Why did the initial witnesses claim that Salman Khan was driving? Why did he initially claim that he was not drinking and later tests found alcohol? Why did he flee the scene of the accident? Why does Salman Khan have such frequent brushes with the law?

Can a common man accuse a star of something bad just to get his name in the papers? It's possible, but we all have a tendency of giving in to the sensational. There is no motive for the common man to go about accusing these film stars for no reason especially in a country like India where the law is on the side of the rich and the famous. At least in the west you can hire good lawyers and extract money out of celebs. Doubt that works in India. So in India, if a common man accuses a celeb of something, my personal bias would be on the side of the common man.
DomainK Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Isn't it true that powerful people get away with crimes? The country has witnessed massive corruption with the amount involved rising with each scandal which comes up. The country witnessed some of the most gruesome riots in '84 and '02. Did these things happen on their own as everyone is innocent and there have been hardly any convictions? That's a pretty strong parallel - being powerful and influential. Laloo has not been found guilty either. Do you consider him to be innocent? Tytler and Sajjan Kumar have not been found guilty either. Do you consider them to be innocent? A very slim possibility. LOL at free trial. You call the sham of a judicial system we have free trial. Why did the initial witnesses claim that Salman Khan was driving? Why did he initially claim that he was not drinking and later tests found alcohol? Why did he flee the scene of the accident? Why does Salman Khan have such frequent brushes with the law? Common sense will tell you that Salman Khan is guilty and common sense will also tell you that being rich, powerful, and influential he will most likely get away. If we go by the pathetic conviction rates in the Indian judicial system, India will be a model nation with little or no crime. The reality tells you otherwise and someone is committing these crimes and those someones are getting away with them with alarming regularity. I think it's very clear. You have your opinion, which I respect and I have mine.
1983-2011 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Salman Khan to face more stringent charge in 2002 hit-and-run case A sessions court today held that the offence of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' under IPC had been made out against Bollywood actor Salman Khan in a 2002 hit-and-run case and rejected his appeal challenging a Magistrate's order invoking this charge. Dictating the order in an open court, Sessions Judge U B Hejib ruled that Salman would face the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Under the provision, the actor might be awarded ten years imprisonment and is triable by a sessions court. Salman was earlier tried by a magistrate under the lesser charge of causing death by negligence (Section 304 A of IPC), which provides for a maximum punishment of two years in jail. However, in a twist to the case, the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate, after examining 17 witnesses, had brought forth the more serious charge of culpable homicide against the 47-year-old actor and transferred it to a sessions court for re-trial. Advancing his argument against invoking the grave charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder (section 304 part II IPC), his counsel Ashok Mundargi pleaded that the Magistrate's order was "erroneous, bad in law and contrary to evidence on record." The Magistrate, he contended, had failed to appreciate that the actor had neither the intention to kill people, nor the knowledge that his rash and negligent driving would kill a person and cause injury to four others. Public Prosecutor Shankar Erande while opposing Salman's appeal said the Magistrate had rightly invoked the charge of culpable homicide as he had committed a serious offence. The court fixed July 19 for commencement of the retrial. Erande argued that a prosecution witness Ravindra Patil (now deceased), a police bodyguard deployed for the actor's security and accompanying him at the time of the accident, had warned him not to drive rashly as it could lead to a mishap. Yet, Khan did not pay heed and drove at a great speed, the prosecutor contended. The prosecutor submitted that Khan was drunk and his blood sample revealed 60 mg alcohol which was beyond the permissible limit. He said Salman had the knowledge that his act of rash driving, more particularly after taking drinks, might result in death of people in accident. Moreover, the actor is familiar with the topography of the area as he stays close to the scene of the accident. As such, he was fully aware that people sleep on the footpaths in that locality, the prosecutor said. One person was killed and four others were injured when the Land Cruiser allegedly driven by Khan ran into a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in the wee hours on September 28, 2002. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/salman-khan-to-face-more-stringent-charge-in-2002-hitandrun-case/1133124/0

Sachin=GOD Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 this case combined with the Blackbuck case would get Salman a total of at least 7-10 years IMO.

DomainK Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 dabang and munnabhai in jail' date=' who will be the new torchbearer of mardangee in India? :hmmm:[/quote'] 1. Jail makes them even more badass, something people in India like. 2. We will have two super stars in jail and I am sure you will find plenty of producers and financiers there as well. Don't be surprised of Bolllywood headquarters soon moves to Tihar.

Sachin=GOD Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Langda Tyagi I believe. He has couple of cases pending against him. Langda Tyagi will also go to jail with Dabang in the blackbuck case.
bulbul Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Langda Tyagi will also go to jail with Dabang in the blackbuck case. Do you really believe they will convicted in that case?
Raghav_12 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Do you really believe they will convicted in that case? Blackbuck case he might be. In other case where he had beaten some NRI in a hotel, he would esacpe.
Sachin=GOD Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Do you really believe they will convicted in that case? they will definitely be convicted in blackbuck case though they may get less jail term.
adi B Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 salman will get 10 years of prisonment,saif ali will get 2-3 years max but that again is debatable .sallu is gone for sure,good riddance
