The Bombay High Court has extended till June 13 the stay granted on the process (summons) issued to actor Salman Khan by a lower court in connection with the alleged misbehaviour with a journalist in 2019.

A magistrate's court had in March this year issued the process to Khan and his bodyguard Nawaz Shaikh and directed them to appear before it on April 5. The order was passed on a complaint filed against the duo by journalist Ashok Pandey, who alleged that he was threatened and assaulted by them. Khan had last month approached the HC challenging the summons. On April 5, the high court had stayed the summons till May 5.
