Mumbai, Sept 28: Hours after film actor Salman Khan rammed his vehicle into a bakery killing one and injuring four others, police abruptly withdrew the security accorded to him. Police bodyguard, Rajendra Pralhad Patil, was tonight recalled by the protection branch of city cops, police sources told a news agency here. Protection was given to Salman nearly three weeks ago after he complained of extortion threats from the underworld.
Salman had also hired a private security guard for his protection.
Both the guards were present in the vehicle when the mishap occurred. The police bodyguard filed a complaint in Bandra police station alleging that the actor was driving the vehicle at the time of accident.

Salman's lawyer Waris Pathan, however, claimed that Salman was not driving the vehicle. The private bodyguard of the actor was in the driver's seat, he added.
