Ravindra Patil
Police constable Ravindra Patil was Salman Khan's bodyguard, and an important link in the case. The prosecution's case was standing on him since he told the court that Salman was drunk and was driving the car. The HC however declared him as partially reliable witness, as it found several anomalies in his statements. Patil died on October 3, 2007 before the trial started in the Sessions court.
