Bhujbal orders high-level probe into Salman case

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal on Monday instituted a high-level probe into the accident case involving popular film star Salman Khan.

Joint Commissioner (law and order) Javed Ahmed will conduct the probe and submit his report within a week, Bhujbal, who also holds the home portfolio, said.

Bhujbal had convened a high-level meeting with police officials on Monday afternoon to examine the details of the star being granted bail by the police.

Salman, who had allegedly rammed his car into a bakery, killing one person and injuring four, was granted bail after furnishing a bond of Rs 950 and a surety.

Bhujbal, however, ruled out any political pressure during the course of investigation.

The result of the alcohol test, which the actor had been subjected to after the accident, would be available in a day or two, the deputy chief minister said.

But Bhujbal gave a clean chit to Ravindra Patil, the police bodyguard of Salman, who had escorted the star on the day of the accident.

Patil's first priority was rushing the injured persons to hospital. Hence, he could not be blamed for failing to pursue the actor after the mishap, Bhujbal added.
