Mumbai: A circular highlighting the blunders and breaches in the 2002 hit and run case investigations involving famous Bollywood actor Salman Khan was issued to all the police stations in the city by the Mumbai police.
The move was aimed at preventing the discomfort caused due to losing a case involving high profile personalities.
"A circular (in this regard) has been sent to all police stations in the city," a senior official attached with Mumbai police told reporters. "This is to prevent the embarrassment which police face following the Salman Khan case," he said.
The circular noted 16 major lapses among several other procedural fallacies of the police.
Key highlights of the lapses were:
The 50-year old actor was acquitted of all charges by the Bombay High Court.
