The High Court has granted bail to Erfan Selim, son of MP Haji Selim, in a case over ‘assaulting’ a navy officer at Dhanmondi in October.
Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim and Justice Md Badruzzaman passed an order on Thursday, clearing the last hurdle for Erfan’s release from jail, reports bdnews24.com citing Erfan’s lawyers.
Lawyer Sayeed Ahmed Raja pleaded for Erfan’s bail, while Deputy Attorney General Md Bashir Ullah was the state counsel.
Erfan has been acquitted in two other cases and can be “released from jail once we get a copy of the bail order”, his lawyer Sayeed Ahmed Raja said.
In October 2020, Lt Md Wasif Ahmed Khan, a naval officer, filed the case with the Dhanmondi police, accusing Erfan and his associates of assaulting him.
