Witness Pandey said against Salman was driving car MIL/, Mar 25, 2006. The second witness Ram Asare Pandey (44), in Salman Khan's hit-and-run case favored the prosecution on Friday at the Bandra metropolitan court. He, who runs a Dairy at Hill Road, Bandra near the place where the accident occurred said in his witness that he saw Salman inside the Toyota Land Cruiser, and he was the man who had crashed into sleeping A-1 Bakery workers. "I saw Salman Khan get down from the driving seat. I could only identify him. Salman went away from the scene with another person from the car. Later on, I came to know that the one who was still standing beside the car was his bodyguard", he said. According to Anand Hola, Midday, there were some snags, as Pandey's statement in court showed minor discrepancies from his statement recorded under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Under this section a witness records his statement before a magistrate, who if the witness turns hostile can be called to depose before the court. However, even a minor deviation from that recorded statement can harm the case. When the defence cross-examined Pandey, he said that he had gone to the Bandra police station three days after the incident to give his statement. But in his original statement in 2002, he had said that the police themselves had come to his residence the day after the incident to record his statement. The sources from Salman and his friends feel that there are certain vest interests causing to spoil his case, since the statement of this person was different when he gave his first statement.
