Saif Ali Khan appears in Mumbai Court in 2012 hotel brawl case

Mumbai, June 18 (IBNS): Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was on Thursday referred to a mediation centre by a Mumbai court in connection with an assault case dating from 2012.

Khan was charged for assaulting South African businessman Iqbal Sharma in 2012, reports said.

The actor was in court on Thursday for the hearing which had been scheduled for April 6 but was deferred due to Khan's busy schedule.

The businessman has also been referred to a meditation centre.

The next hearing of the case is scheduled for July 27.

A local court earlier had framed charges against the Bollywood actor under Section 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC for assaulting South African businessman.

Khan was arrested in February 2012 for assaulting Sharma, who was a guest at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai, following which a case of assault was registered against him on the basis of a complaint filed by the businessman.

Sharma accused him and his aides of breaking his nose after a scuffle inside the Taj Hotel here.

Khan was then having dinner with actress Kareena Kapoor, now his wife, her sister Karisma Kapur and their friends Malaika Arora Khan, Amrita Arora, her husband Shakeel Ladak and producer-actor Bilal Amrohi.
