Abdul Imran Khan, the 32-year-old man who on Sunday morning was reportedly seen on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage beating a disabled man in front of a popular nightclub on Main Street, was on Thursday slapped with an attempted murder charge and appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Khan, of Austin Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, was arraigned before the Chief Magistrate, Ann McLennan for the attempted murder of Romario Baljeet.
In court on Thursday, Khan’s Attorney, Glenn Hanoman questioned the charge that

was instituted against his client. “This was a fight, not attempted murder,” the lawyer told the court in a bail application. On Tuesday, Khan’s brother, 37-year-old Safraz Khan was brought before Magistrate Fabayo Azore on gun-related charges, which occurred on the same morning. He was, however, granted $50,000 bail. The court was informed that the victim had undergone two surgeries and was expected to have several other corrective surgeries to his face.
The case against Abdul Imran Khan will continue on November 19, 2018.
It was previously reported that Safraz Khan was allegedly seen on CCTV footage beating and kicking at Baljeet, who had attempted to pass between him and friends outside the nightclub.
The victim was in the company of a female friend when he was allegedly pushed to the ground by Khan, who then proceeded to kick him repeatedly to his head.
Baljeet was later picked up and rushed to a private medical facility, where he remained a patient.
