Salman Khan's 2002 hit-and-run case is known to everyone. In 2015, the Bombay High Court acquitted the Bollywood superstar of all charges. However, it seems some people are not letting the case go out of their minds. As per reports, there is an online mobile game called Selmon Bhoi, a slang used mostly by troll pages on social media for Salman. The game is apparently based on the hit-and-run incident. Reportedly, the app's description says, "Join Selmon Bhoi and his driver on the quest to: Kill."
In his move, Salman approached a Mumbai Civil court to get an injunction against Selmon Bhai, the video game. Reportedly, Judge K M Jaiswal passed an order on Monday in which the court has restrained the makers of the game, Parody Studios Pvt Ltd and its directors, from disseminating, launching, re-launching and recreating the game or any other content relating to Salman. The court further instructed them to immediately take down/ block/ disable access to the game from all platforms.

The court said, "Upon watching the game and its images, it prima facie matches with the identity of the plaintiff (Khan) and to the hit-and-run case connected to the plaintiff." It was stated that Salman never gave his consent for Selmon Bhai.
The order further read, "When the plaintiff has not given his consent for developing of the game, which is very similar to his identity and the case against him, certainly his right to privacy is being deprived and his image is also being tarnished."
According to reports, Salman filed an application in court last month through his legal firm. The application stated, "The game developers intentionally gained commercial advantage by exploiting the personality rights of our client without seeking our client’s consent."
As per reports, the developers have to file their affidavit to Salman’s plea and the court has posted the matter for further hearing on September 20.
