Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s acquittal in the 2002 drunken driving, hit-and-run case – an accident that left one dead and four others injured – has not come as a surprise.The Bombay High Court threw out an earlier conviction and five-year sentence given to the 49-year-old actor.“The trial court’s verdict is quashed and set aside,” Judge A R Joshi said in reading the verdict to a crowded courtroom, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. “Salman is acquitted of all charges.”The judges said in their ruling, which was read over several days, that prosecutors had failed to prove charges of culpable homicide, in which they accused Khan of driving while intoxicated in 2002 and running over five men sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai, killing one of them.
