Earlier, On 18 March, the High Court granted bail to Erfan in the case.
On 25 October last year, Erfan allegedly assaulted a navy officer and his wife near the Kalabagan crossing in Dhanmondi area after the officer's motorcycle collided with a car carrying Erfan and his bodyguard.
The officer filed a case with the Dhanmondi Police Station against Erfan and others a day later. Erfan was arrested on the same day.
Erfan's bail application in the case was rejected by a Dhaka court on 27 December last year. Erfan then appealed in the High Court, which granted him bail on 18 March this year.
