Statements were yesterday served to Abdul Imran Khan, who has been released on bail by the High Court, pending the outcome of his preliminary inquiry for the attempted murder of a Palm Court nightclub patron.
It is alleged that Khan, 32, on October 28th, at Main Street, Georgetown, with intent to commit murder, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Romario Baljeet.
Khan was yesterday served statements by Latchmie Rahamat, special prosecutor for the Preliminary Inquiry into the charge against him.
The matter was later adjourned by Magistrate Leron Daly until January 8th, 2019, when further statements are expected to be served.
Khan was granted $700,000 bail by Justice Sandil Kissoon in the High Court, after being
repeatedly denied bail by the magistrate. It is the police’s case that at around 3 am on the day in question, as Baljeet and a friend were leaving the nightclub, they walked between Khan and another man. It was then, according to the prosecution, that Khan dealt the complainant two punches to his head and face, causing him to fall to the ground. The defendant then took a glass bottle and a drinking glass and smashed them on Baljeet’s face, resulting in injuries and bleeding.
