“The existence of Altaf and Ashok Singh was known to the prosecution since 2002 and a defence witness, comes into the witness box only after the prosecution finishes leading its evidence”, said Desai.Desai also emphasized that Ashok had driven the vehicle down Linking Road to Manuel Gonsalves and then on to Hill Road, and did not take a right turn at St Andrews Road on to Hill Road towads Galaxy apartments as suggested by the prosecution.
The prosecutor who was speaking on his arguments asked the justice not to show any leniency to Salman Khan and he requested the judge to provide at least five years of imprisonment. He has been convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
The prosecution wrapped up its case on Thursday reiterating that Salman was intoxicated when he was driving the Toyota Land Cruiser which rammed into a bakery in Bandra killing one and injuring four others.
