By: Tupaki Desk | 9 May 2015 12:16 PM GMT
Ravindra Patil who was appointed as Salman Khan's Bodyguard due to possible threat from underworld was in the ill-fated SUV when the accident took place in the year 2002 and his statement became very crucial in the case as he being an eye-witness.
Ravindra Patil's Statement: "On September 27, 2002, at 9.30pm, the accused and Kamaal Khan came out of a room at their residence and told me they were going to Rain Bar, Juhu. The accused had a Toyota Land Cruiser car with the registration number MH 01 DA 32. The accused was driving the car.
They asked me to wait outside, while the accused and Kamaal went inside the hotel. After a few hours, the accused and Kamaal came out at 2.15am. The accused sat in the driver's seat and I was sitting next to him. Kamaal was sitting in the rear.
When the accused sat behind the wheel, I asked him whether he would be driving the car. He ignored me. The accused was driving the car at a speed of 90-100km/hour. Before reaching the Hill Road junction, I told the accused to slow down as a right turn was coming up. He ignored me again. The accused lost control of the car while taking a turn and drove right on to the footpath.
There was a lot of shouting and people had gathered around us. I showed my identity card and told the crowd I was a policeman, which pacified them. The accused and Kamaal ran away from the spot. I went to the car to check and saw that one person was seriously injured. There were four others who were stuck under the car. The incident took place because the car was in speed and the accused, in a drunken state, could not control the car while taking the turn".
The statement of Ravindra Patil itself is a proof that it was Salman Khan, but not his Driver, who is behind the wheels at the time of accident. Hence, The Star deserves punishment just alike any Common Man as law is the same for all.
