Salman Khan house firing case accused claims 'Prison doctor asked for money to treat fractured finger'

An accused in the firing incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence on Wednesday alleged that a prison doctor asked for money to treat his fractured finger. Harpal Singh, arrested for his alleged role in the April incident, made the allegation before judge B D Shelke when he was produced before the special court for Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) through a video link.

The court directed the chief medical officer (CMO) of Taloja jail, where Singh is lodged, to submit a report, and also asked the jail authorities to provide necessary treatment to the accused.


Two motorcycle-borne men fired five rounds outside Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Salman Khan's residence, in the early hours of April 14. Police, who claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was behind the attack, have arrested six people in the case so far.

Singh told the court on Wednesday that the ring finger of his right hand had a fracture for the past eight months. The CMO demanded Rs 10,000 for referring him to a "higher center" (hospital), he alleged. The court has asked for report by October 7. Mohammad Chaudhary, another accused in the case, told the court that he had infection in the right leg. The court directed the CMO to provide medical treatment to him.
