Salman Khan: Bollywood star faces homicide charge
Science and culture
An Indian court has ruled that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan should face a charge of culpable homicide for a hit-and-run incident 10 years ago.
In September 2002, he allegedly drove his car into a bakery in Mumbai city, killing a street sleeper.
The actor is currently being tried for the lesser offence of "death caused by negligence". He could face 10 years in prison for the more serious charge.
He denies the charges and has said he will challenge the latest order.
Khan is one of Bollywood's biggest stars and has starred in more than 80 Hindi films, including Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aap Ke Hain Kaun.
Late on the night of 28 September 2002, Khan's Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into the American Express bakery in the Bandra area of Mumbai, authorities say.
The vehicle ran over five people sleeping on the streets, killing one of them.
