Salman Khan's 2002 Hit and Run case is nearing the second phase. A Pune based rights activist, Hemant Patil has sought a probe into the circumstances surrounding the death of actor's bodyguard Ravindra Patil who was a witness of Salman's car mishap in 2002.

The demand for a probe has been filed by state government in a public interest litigation before Bombay High Court. Hemant contended that legal action must be practiced against Salman who allegedly pressurized not to reveal the facts during the trial.

Ravindra Patil had disappeared for some time and was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Hemant's plea challenging the conviction will come up before the High court on July 1.
