Attempting to pick holes in the prosecution case against Bollywood actor Salman Khan in the 2002 road accident, the actor’s counsel on Wednesday said after the accident, the actor’s blood samples were tampered with and his medical examination was done in just five minutes.
Defence counsel Shrikant Shivade argued before Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande that the first primary evidence, the medical case paper, showed that Salman was brought before Dr Shashikant Pawar of Sir J.J. Hospital at 2.25 p.m. and discharged at 2.30 p.m. on September 28, 2002.

“According to the exhibits, his BP was checked which was 138/88, pulse was checked which was 88 per minute, eyes checked for dilation, abdomen was examined which was soft, and as far as smell (of alcohol) was concerned, it was kept blank… This means there was no alcohol, and also he was made to walk straight. Do you think all this is possible in five minutes,” Shivade asked.
He also contended that Salman’s blood samples collected at the government-run Sir J.J. Hospital were tampered with at the behest of police with the intention to nail the accused (Salman), hinting at a police-medico nexus.
Shivade questioned the logic of the Bandra police station of not collecting the blood samples at the neighbourhood civic-run Bhabha Hospital in Bandra and instead sending him to the government-run hospital in Byculla, south Mumbai.
“It is mentioned that blood collection facility was not available at the Bhabha Hospital… is that possible? It is a reputed hospital. It has an operation theatre and an ICU… Do you mean to say that syringes and blood sample collection is not present there?” Shivade argued.
Dwelling upon the cross-examination of medico Pawar who examined Salman and collected the blood sample, Shivade said Maharashtra Medical Code rules were not followed, including taking the consent of the accused and other aspects.
“His consent was not taken… in an invasive procedure… do you want to follow the procedure laid down here, or in Namibia and Ethopia?” he demanded.
Citing another important factor, Shivade said the blood samples were collected on September 28, 2002 afternoon, and sent for examination after two days and actually tested on October 1.
“The evidence is silent on how it was stored, where it was kept and under whose custody? The vials used were stored in his (the doctor’s) chamber… Many patients come and go… there are chances of contamination,” he pointed out.
He added that the blood samples were collected without (Salman’s) consent, gloves were not used, and the samples were sealed by a ward boy, preservative sodium chloride was not used though an anti-coagulant was used.
“When preservative is not used, it leads of fermentation, which would show presence of alcohol even if there is no alcohol in the blood… Absolutely no precautions were taken,” Shivade said.
The defence lawyer’s arguments came in the ongoing re-trial of the September 28, 2002 accident case involving Salman when his Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into a bakery in Bandra west, killing one pavement dweller and injuring four others.
The defence arguments will continue on Thursday.

@undertaker The point of your comment is that Srk commited the crimes and was found guilty everytime.
On the other hand Salman is absolutely innocent and hence he was never found guilty.
@bhai ka hater, ya apart from Bollywood even south industry & its future are dependent on bhai but on the flip side my sexy queen is heavily dependent on rohit, deepika, farha , k.jo , the chopras & the yrfs , kajol ,rajni kanth and so many others to give BBs & was entirely dependent on his daughter to get cleared of the wankhede incident :D
@Tiger.. First of all SRK did not beat anyone at Wankhede.. He just abused and he apologised for that publicly.
When did he misbehave with airport officials after drinking? And for anything for a offence, a police complaint has to be lodged.. when that isn’t lodged how can he be punished? Forget about logic, you are not even making sense.
Salman has abused and beaten Aishwarya.. he went to the sets of Chalte Chalte and threw chairs around..
Read this story if you are interested!
Salman Khan’s darkest days
Shah Rukh had put up his set for Chalte Chalte at Naraingaon, near Pune and they were shooting a few romantic scenes and a song. The relationship between Salman and Ash had turned volatile by then and Salman used to continuously call on Aishwarya and Shah Rukh’s mobiles. Most of those calls went unanswered. One could sense that Salman was simmering on the inside because he couldn’t digest the fact that he had been unceremoniously dumped by Ash.
For a couple of days, the calls stopped, but it was just a calm before the storm. A few production staff, connected with that shoot schedule, told me that Shah Rukh could sense it and had confided in Aishwarya about the possibility of Salman landing up on the sets any day. He requested Aishwarya to ensure that the shoot gets over without a hassle because a lot of money had gone into that schedule.
Shah Rukh was caught in a strange situation. On one hand, there was his production where he had to manage a big profit and gain the confidence of the distributors (a critical thing for any production house). On the hand, there was his friendship with Salman which was going for a toss.
But his worst fears came true. One fine morning a furious Salman Khan landed up on the sets of Chalte Chalte. What followed was nothing less than Bollywood high-tension drama.
‘Just come out at once’
Salman Khan was driving an SUV and drove straight into the sets of Chalte Chalte. He then went straight up to the spot where Aishwarya was and confronted her. The shooting came to a standstill. Salman then asked Aishwarya to leave the sets immediately and come out with him.
Shah Rukh apparently intervened and it led to their first major fight in front of the whole shooting unit. When Shah Rukh declined to let Aishwarya go, Salman said that there’s nothing in this world that can stop him from taking her away. Aishwarya was caught between the crossfire and didn’t know what to do.
Apparently, Salman then drove his car into the sets, causing damage to the sets in the process. He then opened the front door of the car and ordered Aishwarya to sit inside.
It was too much for Shah Rukh to take and he warned Aishwarya that if she left the sets that day, it will be the last time she would be seen on the sets of his film. Caught between the two, Ash probably thought that she would try to pacify Salman first and then return on the sets the next day. Shooting getting cancelled for a day was never a big thing in Bollywood then. She sat in the car and Salman drove out of the sets. He also banged Aishwarya’s car on his way out.
The shooting for that day was cancelled. A furious Shah Rukh asked his director Aziz Mirza to call Aishwarya and tell her that she is not a part of the film anymore. To Ash’s horror, Ash then received another call from a colleague informing her that she had replaced by her good friend, Rani Mukerji.
The darkest day in the life of Salman Khan
This incident of Salman barging into the sets of Chalte Chalte and disrupting the shoot was the beginning of his darkest days. Had this incident not happened, Salman’s life would have been dramatically different from what it is right now.
Months after the incident, Aishwarya finally spoke out against Salman Khan. In an interview to The Times of India, she publicly lashed out against her ex and said that he is harassing and abusing her. She also said that Salman would hit her and injure himself when she wouldn’t take his calls. The article triggered a shock-wave in Bollywood and finally which was spoken in hushed tones was out there for the public.
This public humiliation was too much for Salman to bear and it triggered a shocking chain of events.
Aishwarya’s interview came out on September 27, 2002. Call it coincidence or events spiraling out of control, but the very next day, late on September 28 night, a drunk Salman Khan allegedly insisted on driving his land-cruiser (registration number MH 01 DA 32) back home after a drinking binge at a pub in Bandra, Mumbai.
He was so drunk that night that he lost control of his SUV and crushed three people under his wheels. All the three belonged to a nearby bakery and were sleeping on the pavement when Salman’s SUV lost control and crashed into them.
An eye-witness at the accident spot (according to reports) described the actor to be in a state of shock on seeing a body under the wheels of his car till his brothers took him away from there.
That was the dead body of Noor Ullah Khan (38) who was declared ‘brought dead’ at the Bhabha hospital. Two others were gravely injured.
Though police swung into action the next day but charged Salman under bailable sections like rash and negligent driving. Soon, a huge public outcry followed accusing the police of letting him off lightly and not charging him with homicide.
The ghost of that incident is chasing Salman Khan even today. Two years later after the incident, the metropolitan magistrate, after examining 17 witnesses, brought forth the more serious charge of culpable homicide against him and transferred it to a sessions court for re-trial. Salman appealed against the order and argued that he should not be tried under such a grave charge.
The court will decide whether it is culpable homicide or not, a few days from today, on June 24.
In the next part of the series we will talk about how Salman’s battled the odds following the incident and how his relationship with Shah Rukh started showing signs of improvement before hitting rock bottom again.
Arre yaar plz send him to jail soon,criminals can’t be allowed to roam free on streets.
Along with bhai his fans like tiger the real criminal,navin uncle,NVS,JS,ultron should also be sent to jail,they will get real entertainment there.

Policestation scene #36

Bhai singing:tadap tadap ke is dil se aaah nikalti rahi
Bhai fans logic – why punish bhai if he has killed one person he has also saved many lives so called show off called being human. This is completely insane. In place of that poor person if it was one of your relatives would you all still forgive bhai. Grow up you idiots. Bhai ko jail ho !!!
When his contemporaries were busy in domestic issues, drugs, girlfriends etc, SRK was flying global with BRAND INDIA!
Salman fans should stop commenting on others from now. Salman proved to be biggest hypocrite and coward in court recently. so rehne do.
Bhaitards send the pics where SRK is proudly defending his daughter & in return get pics where Salman is pushed by police inside the bars.
Salman Khan did his career best acting recently in Court. He deserves Oscar award for his performance. Bhaitards should be proud of him
@Suniel : You made some sense with your second comment and later Blown all the good vibe with onc piece of crap (Dark days of Salman). There are hundreds of sites who keep writing negative things about some stars. Yes, relationship with Ash was one of the worst chapter of Salman’s life but are you a witness of hitting Salman. Ash did say he abused her but mental not physical abuse. And you expect others to make sense and logic !!!!!!!! No one is perfect Salman made some mistakes in his life so what everyone make some mistakes. But he is a changed person now and source of inspiration of millions of people. May be you dont like him but that doesnt mean no one like him and everyone sees him as you see him !!!!!!!!!
@raj Salman never said that he was sitting behind dont say anything and @undertaker mca didnt lifted the ban on,SRK you SRK fans dont have any sense.And @real lungi fan you always say that bhai fans want SRK articles but it see you all sarkar fans are here on the Salman Khan articles as they say u can love him or hate him but u cant ignore him
@Paadshah : Ever read the difference between Murder/killing and accident? What will you do if you unintentionally killed someone with accident ? Do you expect it go on for 10 or 15 years with uncertainty around your life ? I am not defending him but wait for the final verdict. If you cant turn into a witness and help those poor people get justice instead of barking on indicine !!!!!!!!!
@suniel, if he hadn’t beaten securities then why he is not allowed to enter the stadiun???
If he was not misbehaving in airport then why he was beaten for whole day??? India wants answer.
@suniel, if he hadn’t beaten securities then why he is not allowed to enter the stadium???
If he was not misbehaving in airport then why he was beaten for whole day??? India wants answer.
@Unreal bhai fan , u don’t love my sexy
queen srk as much as u hate salman , u
r so obsessed with salman & so jealous
of him that u comment very less on my
queen khan’s pages and more on
salman’s related articles and also u r
one of the very first to do so , please
don’t forget about my hot queen khan &
please comment on Queen’s pages with
the same excitement & energy with
which u do on salman’s articles , agar tu
bi mere queen ko hand dega tho mere
queen khan ka kya hoga .
“when my queen feel’s thirsty , he
doesn’t go to a bar do u know what he
does ? He orders water tankers to his
house damn caring about the people
who are in desperate need of the water,
#powerofmyqueen”
No dude u r wrong my hot sexy Queen is
really great , he rode a train during CE’s
shooting as a train driver, he doesn’t
ride a bicycle on roads for the fear that
his weak loose body & his ‘on the verge
of extinction’ muscles would simply
crumble if he does so instead he flies his
cycle in the air and at times travels from
India to USA on a flying cycle but
unfortunately gets caught & stopped at
the US airports , at times he even rides a
‘open top’ submarine in the Arabian sea,
he is really great ,#powerofmyqueen
my queen goes to bars daily , do u know
why? simple yaar , he goes to the bars to
drink Hippo’s milk mixed with different
fruit juices :D .
@IamAKN : How much hatred and filth you will spread ??
Check Karan Arjun reviews almost every critic (at that time) praised Salman acting in it !!!!
@sss, bhai is innocent thats why he has not got any punishment. But the criminal king got punishment from stadium authority very next day after his criminalgiri. He was also beaten for two long hour as punishment after his criminalgiri in airport.
@sss : Mr. IIN better you dont talk about logic. According your logic, Srk is pure soul with 19 abs (supposed to come as a Charlie with 300cr Storm. Which never came) and Saif Ali Khan got Bharat Ratna !!!!!!! Lol
Apparently there are more witnesses of the accident here on indicine than in the court.How come you guys know so much? Were you present at the time of the accident? You just read it from some cheap magazines seeking publicity and formed your opinions. If he’s guilty, he will be punished else he would be free.Wait for the verdict. If you know the law very well, why don’t you also know that a person under trial can’t be called a criminal until he’s convicted. #kingtards=pseudo intellects
When Bhai killed ppl.
Bhaitards : His driver was driving.
When Bhai’s driver did stunts in Kick.
Bhaitards : Bhai did it.
Double standards?
Srk fans gets overjoyed whenever they see articles on Salman cases. It makes their day because this is the one opportunity or chance they cant let it go to bash Salman and his fan !!!!!!!!
@srk fans ko maaro : And you will be the who will keep a boring face and sulk like your king even in such Entertaining jail !!!!!!!!
