Ravindra Patil

Ravindra Patil[1] (1977-4 October 2007) was an Indian constable, bodyguard of Salman Khan,[2] who was the prime witness of the 2002 hit-and-run case of Salman Khan. Patil filed the first information report in the case. Patil was a passenger when Khan ran over five sleeping pedestrians, one of whom died from injuries.

In January and February 2002, Salman filed a police report complaining about threatening calls from the underworld. The police appointed the then 24-25-year-old constable Ravindra Patil as Salman’s unarmed bodyguard.[3][4] Ravindra Patil died of tuberculosis in 2007.[5]

Crash

On September 28, 2002, Salman Khan rammed his Toyota Land Cruiser onto the steps of A1 Bakery at the turning near Mehboob Studios in Bandra. Patil was a passenger in the car. Patil confmed in his statement that Salman was under the influence of alcohol when the incident took place.[6]

On Saturday 11 March 2006, Patil was arrested at Mahableshwar[7] for missing court sessions and sent to Arthur Road Jail.[8] A non-bailable warrant was issued against him.

He died in Sewri TB hospital on 4 October 2007, because of tuberculosis at around 30 years old.[9][10]
