Almost 4 years later: PI into attempted murder charge against businessman winding down

Almost four years after he was charged with attempting to murder a person with a disability, the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the charge against businessman Imran Khan is winding down.
Khan, of Austin Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, has not been required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Romario “Short Boss” Baljeet, with intent to murder him, on October 28, 2018, at Main Street, Georgetown.

The matter is before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Khan, who was released on $700,000 High Court bail, is being represented by defence counsel Glenn Hanoman while Attorney-at-Law Latchmie Rahamat is prosecuting the matter.
It was reported that around 03:00h on the day in question, Baljeet and a friend were leaving the Palm Court nightclub when they walked between Khan and another man.
It was then that Khan allegedly dealt Baljeet two punches to his head and face, causing him to fall to the ground. He reportedly took a glass bottle and a drinking glass and smashed them on Baljeet’s face. Persons who were around were afraid to render assistance as Khan began to kick and punch Baljeet. Baljeet was later picked up in an unconscious state and taken to Woodlands Hospital, where he was treated and admitted. He had to undergo surgery for his injuries. (G1)
