Police on Thursday pressed charges against Erfan Salim, son of Awami League MP Haji Md Selim, in a case filed over the murder attempt on an officer of the navy in Dhaka.
Sub Inspector Mominul Haq, who is also the investigation officer of the case, submitted a charge-sheet naming three more people, including Erfan's bodyguard Jahidul Mollah, in the court of Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, reports Bangla Tribune.
On October 25 last year, a video of Lieutenant Wasif Ahmad Khan of Bangladesh Navy demanding justice in public went viral on social media after he was assaulted by Erfan, his bodyguard, chauffeur and a few accomplices.
The attack took place at the Kalabagan bus stop area at around 7:45pm, when the military officer protested after his motorcycle was hit by Erfan’s car, which had a parliament sticker on it.
A day later, a case was filed with Dhanmondi police station accusing the four people.
Erfan was later arrested and jailed for a year after a raid by a mobile court found walkie-talkies and alcohol in his house, causing him to be suspended as councillor of Ward No 30 of Dhaka South City Corporation.
