If Salman was innocent, he would have been proven back then easily. The dragging of this case for so many years, makes it clear that he is actually guilty but not ready to pay for his crime.
I'm sure if it was some other random guy, then he would have been rotting in the jail already
no if it was some other guy,the case would have been closed and erased from the files...take the example of mukesh ambani son's case...
Mukesh Ambani's Son Allegedly Kills 2 in a Car Accident
On early Sunday morning at around 1.30 am, a Rs 4.5-crore black Aston Martin (MH-01-BK-99) owned by Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Ports speeded over 100km per hour and banged into two vehicles, causing a pile up on Peddar Road, Mumbai. The Aston Martin lost its control and first rammed into an Audi, pushing it over the divider that hit an oncoming private bus. The impact was so strong that the Aston Martin lost one of its tyres and hit a Hyundai Elantra, dragging up to 30-35 metres. After the car came to halt, the driver of the Aston Martin is reported to have fled the scene in one of their security vehicles Honda CRV, leaving the Aston Martin behind.
The Reports and Response
The Audi car hit by Aston Martin was being driven by Foram Ruparel, a 25-year-old MBA student and Ghatkopar resident, who filed FIR with Mumbai police. The Hyundai Elantra was owned by Vikram Mishra, a resident of Thane who works at a pharmaceutical firm. According to the initial reports, eyewitness told Zee 24 Taas that Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani's son Akash Ambani was in the car when the accident took place, and that he was "fully drunk". These initial reports of the incident from Zee news and Times of India were later removed from their website. Even though the accident caught wide attention of people and media criticism on social networking sites, some mainstream media did not highlight the car crash, while some others that reported did not mention the car's Reliance affiliation.
The Consequences
The next day, after 12 hours of the accident, driver Bansilal Joshi (55), who weighs 100kg and had worked with Reliance Ports for around 30 years, turned up at the Gamdevi police station and confessed that he was the one who had taken the car for a test drive on Sunday morning and crashed it. He claims that he was assigned to drive Ambani's son Akash around. The police did not make any arrests and is investigating the case, taking fingerprints and DNA evidence from the car and other sources.
In between these available facts, there are number of factors that raise suspicions about the driver of the Aston Martin:
- If the driver was on a test drive and not a family member, why were two security vehicles following the car?
- Generally, no driver would drive a Rs 4.5 crore Aston Martin car at over 100 kmph when followed by a security detail.
- And then, why was the driver whisked away from the crash site, without reporting it or recording a statement?
- It should be noted that the police did not make any arrests, even though Bansilal Joshi claimed he was the one driving the car during mishap. The police department is verifying his statement against his call records and other CCTV footage during his supposed test drive.
Mukesh Ambani deals with media groups like Network 18 and is certainly a big investor. A clear, unbiased investigation by police and media can only bring forth the actual facts behind the Aston Martin car crash in Mumbai, whether it was really Mukesh Ambani's son Akash Ambani in a drunken state
