The verdict in Salman Khan’s 2002 hit-and-run case couldn’t have come at a more fitting time, with the United Nations Global Road Safety Week currently on till May 10. Khan was not only found guilty of drink driving but also for speeding and rash driving, and with traffic violations on the rise in the city, perhaps the actor’s conviction will come as a warning to other motorists.

Cases of drink driving have reduced in the city due to the regular bandobasts and nakabandis on the roads, especially during weekends. File pic for representation
