As per the latest development in a 2018 hit-and-run case, a magistrate’s court convicted and sentenced Dalip Tahil to two months in jail for driving under the influence of alcohol, ramming his car into an autorickshaw in Khar and injuring a woman. When Bombay Times reached out to him, the actor said, “I respect the judgement, but it is a suspended sentence and we will approach the higher court.”

He further added, “It is an old case. If I had caused somebody grave injury, I would be the first person to beg for forgiveness. People need to know that there was no significant injury. Frankly, I have nothing further to say on this. I respect the court, but we will appeal to the higher court.”

Popularly known as Madan Chopra from Shah Rukh Khan starrer Baazigar, Dalip was recently seen in projects like Mission Mangal, The Family Man, Guilty and Made In Heaven.
