A Dhaka court yesterday framed charges against Awami League lawmaker Haji Mohammad Salim's son Mohammad Erfan Salim and four others in a case filed over the assault and attempted murder of a navy officer in October 2020.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Muhammad Asaduzzaman Nur passed the order.
The magistrate issued an arrest warrant against Erfan, who was absent during the hearing.
The court also set March 6 for starting trial.
The four other accused are Erfan's bodyguard Zahidul Mollah, chauffeur Mizanur Rahman, assistant Qazi Ripon, and Madina Group's protocol officer AB Siddique Dipu.
According to the case filed by navy officer Wasif Ahmad Khan, he and his wife were verbally abused and assaulted by several SUV passengers at Dhanmondi on October 25, 2020, following a dispute after the vehicle rear-ended Wasif's motorcycle.
