Salman doesn't need to produce driving license

Mumbai, March 3: In a relief for Salman Khan in the hit-and-run case, a Mumbai court on Wednesday rejected the prosecution’s plea seeking directions to the Bollywood actor to produce his driving license. The license was demanded to help the prosecution prove its charge that Khan was driving the vehicle without valid papers at the time of the September, 2002 hit-and-run accident. Special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat had argued that Khan was not in possession of a valid driving license on the night his car ran over pavement dwellers in Bandra September 28, 2002, killing one and injuring four people. As per the records with the Regiol Transport Office (RTO), Khan had obtained a driving license in 2004, and an RTO officer had earlier given this version in his deposition before the court. (IANS)
