NEW DELHI — The Bollywood actor Salman Khan was found guilty on Wednesday in the death of a homeless man in a long-running hit-and-run case and sentenced to five years in prison.

Mr. Khan, 49, one of India’s biggest movie stars, had been driving drunk on a September night in 2002 when he ran over five homeless men sleeping on a footpath along a street in Mumbai and then fled, the prosecution said.

One of the victims died, and the others were injured.

The Mumbai court that delivered the judgment on Wednesday convicted Mr. Khan of culpable homicide, as well as various charges under the Motor Vehicles Act, according to a lawyer for the prosecution.

The Indian news media reported on Wednesday that Mr. Khan had been granted bail for two days, and news services said he would seek a longer bail later this week.
