Salman Khan was not driving the car - says eye witness singer Kamaal Khan

The key eye witness in Salman Khan's 2002 Hit-and-Run Case, singer Kamaal Khan, has been missing in action since the accident occurred. However, recently the O O Jaane Jaana singer spoke to India TV where he revealed that Salman Khan was not driving the car.

 

Singer Kamaal Khan was present inside the car with Salman Khan that killed one person and injured four in Bandra on September 28, 2002.

 

While reports claimed that the singer had vanished from the scene and was unreachable, Kamaal denied it. The singer broke his silence on this controversial case and spoke to India TV.

 

He said, "Look, whatever I have heard about the case is through the media. First, it was reported in media that Kamaal Khan has vanished. It is impossible, because my address and telephone number in the United Kingdom have remained unchanged for last 25 years. So I don't understand, why these people are saying Kamaal Khan has vanished."

 

Further, Kamaal also rubbished the reports which said that prosecution has claimed that he had given a statement in which he stated that Salman Khan was driving the car and called it a 'lie'.

 

"Firstly, it came in the media that Kamaal Khan has given statement to the police that Salman Khan was driving the car. This is a total lie. I never gave any such statement. Secondly, the prosecution did not call me, though I am here (in the UK) since 2008. Moreover, as to who was driving the car, the matter is right now sub judice, and it will not be right for me disclose now. I can this much only that I never gave the statement that Salman Khan was driving the car."

 

When probed further by Rajat Sharma of India TV about who was driving the car that night, Kamaal Khan replied, "I cannot make any statement right now through the media. It will then become a trial by the media, and it has been so since the beginning in this hit-and-run case."

 

We wonder what new turns will Salman's case take now!
