No bail, Salman remanded to further police custody
20.30 IST   10th Oct 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

A Mumbai court on Thursday turned down the bail plea of Bollywood star Salman Khan in a hit and run case.

Metropolitan Magistrate S. Y. Shisode remanded him to further police custody till October 14.

He, however, permitted Salman to have home-made food, water, change of clothes and toiletries.

The magistrate noted, "In my opinion, the matter has reached a crucial stage of investigation, considering the seriousness of the offence.

"In my considered view I feel that police custody may be extended till October 14 and release of accused on bail at this stage may frustrate the investigations," he said.

Prosecution prayed for 10 days' police custody of the accused to complete the investigation. They said a police team had gone to Kerala to trace the owner of the vehicle purportedly owned by Salman Khan.

"I have given anxious consideration to the submissions and counter-submissions of both the sides," Shisode said.

"I am not satisfied with the plea of prosecution for 10 days' police custody to interrogate the accused," he added.

"It is pertinent to mention here that Salman was arrested and released on bail on September 28 when his car rammed into a bakery, killing one person and injuring four others and was available to police for interrogation," the Magistrate said.

Salman was again arrested 10 days later. Therefore, the prayer of application for 10 days' police custody is not justified, he said.

Salman himself pleaded with the magistrate not to place him in police custody and assured him of all cooperation with the police in further investigation.

The actor also said if the owner of the vehicle was not traceable in Kerala, he would be very much available to the police.
