After repeated adjournments and admonition by the court over missing statements of witnesses, the trial in the hit-and-run case against Bollywood actor Salman Khan is set to resume from 24 September following production of the documents before a sessions court on Friday.
The prosecution informed the court trying the case that all but one of the 63 original statements of witnesses and case diaries that had gone missing from the custody of police have been found and placed them before judge DW Deshpande.
The court was told the lone missing statement will also be traced soon.
The trial in the case had hit a roadblock in July when the court was informed that the original statements of the witnesses had disappeared. The court was again informed in August that case diaries relating to the case too were not traceable, inviting reprimand from the judge, who directed the police to locate the documents at the earliest for the trial to recommence.
Following this, Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria ordered an investigation and the documents were found at Bandra police Station on 26 August.
