As the Mumbai session court convicted the Bollywood
actor Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case, many in the film industry
expressed sympathy for the actor. The Bollywood affluent have little concern
about homeless poor sleeping in footpaths. They argue for the loss of money in
film industry with actor’s jail term and think they are above law. They hope
for trouble-free trial in higher court leaving scant regard to poor man’s
modesty.
So everyone who demands actor’s acquittal should
understand that he is not being prosecuted for participating in any freedom
struggle but for drunken driving. He killed an innocent man and injured others. The five year jail term is inadequate for the crime he committed.
Perhaps the real reason for his trial and conviction is woman’s
curse, seemingly from a former Ms World..
