The culpable homicide retrial of Bollywood megastar Salman Khan began today in a Mumbai sessions court over his allegedly running over several pavement dwellers while drunk, killing one, in 2002. The prosecution might call up to 64 witnesses, of whom the first appeared today.

A magistrate in an earlier trial of causing death by negligence, had ordered the retrial after hearing some evidence that a charge of culpable homicide was made out. [PTI]
