Hit and run case: Salman Khan walks free after 13 years

In this photograph taken on September 28, 2002, an Indian police officer inspects damage to the bumper of a white Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle belonging to Bollywood actor Salman Khan in Mumbai. An Indian court on December 10, 2015, has cleared Bollywood superstar Salman Khan of killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run crash 13 years ago, acquitting him of all charges after he appealed his conviction. The Bombay High Court said a lower court had erred in finding the 49-year-old guilty of culpable homicide and other charges after a closely watched trial in May when he was sentenced to five years in prison.
