Mumbai, Nov 19 (PTI): Bollywood actor Salman Khan today pleaded for a fresh trial before a sessions court in the hit-and-run case, saying the evidence adduced earlier before a magistrate be discarded as he was now facing a more serious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Khan's lawyer moved the plea on the grounds that the actor was now being tried for the serious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The lawyer also said they were not given a chance to cross-examine the witness.
"We should not be prejudiced because of the want of cross-examination of witnesses," he said. But the prosecution called it a delay tactic. Khan was first booked for causing death by negligence but the charge was later upgraded.
