Judge Md Hemayet Uddin of the Dhaka Ninth Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal set Aug 1 for the first day of testimony in the case.
Pori Moni accused Nasir, a real estate businessman and former Uttara Club chief, of attempting to rape and murder her at the Dhaka Boat Club on Jun 8 last year. Later on Jun 18, she filed a case over the incident with Savar Police, where she also claimed that Omi had lured her to the club as part of a plan to assault her.
