Salim Osman's indictment hearing deferred again
A Dhaka court yesterday once again deferred the hearing on charge framing against Jatiya Party lawmaker AKM Salim Osman to December 26 in a case filed for assaulting schoolteacher Shyamal Kanti Bhakta in Narayanganj last year.
In May last year, a video clip of Shyamal Kanti -- the headteacher of Piyar Sattar Latif High School in Narayanganj -- went viral on social media. In the clip he was seen doing squats holding his ears in the presence of Salim.
Dhaka Chief Judicial Magistrate Jesmin Ara passed the order after Salim's lawyer submitted a petition seeking adjournment of the hearing.
In the hearing yesterday, the lawyer said his client was abroad for treatment as he has various ailments including heart disease. As such, his client should be given more time.
On July 4 and August 6, Salim had taken time on the same ground.
