The criminal charges against Bollywood superstar Salman Khan have been increased to culpable homicide by the Bandra metropolitan magistrate, the Mumbai Mirror reported today.
The paper also included a good potted history of the more than 10-year-long trial against the actor who allegedly killed a number of pavement dwellers in Mumbai driving while intoxicated. [Mumbai Mirror]
Reportedly the case was used by arguing counsel in another drink driving case in 2010 to avoid the culpable homicide charge.

If it takes 10 years to close a criminal trial of a celebrity, in what should be an open or shut case, what does that say about the quality of the criminal justice system?
Great work, Kian.
A very important report has been brought up, the accused is still dabanging around... ! seems like anything can be bought with money and connections...
