Mumbai: Two years after actor Saif Ali Khan allegedly assaulted a South Africa-based businessman and his father-in-law at a Colaba hotel, a local court today framed charges against Saif and his two friends.

"The court today framed charges against Khan and his two friends - Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi - under section 325 (assault) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code," public prosecutor Wajeed Sheikh said.
