Actress Pori Moni Denied Bail, Sent to Jail

In a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act, a Dhaka court denied actress Pori Moni's bail petition and sentenced her to prison.

After her lawyer filed the petition, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Dhiman Chandra Mondal issued the decision on Friday.

Police had brought her before the court after completing her six-day remand in two phases, requesting that she be held in custody until the case's investigation was completed.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Debabrata Biswas gave police two days to question her on August 10, while Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Manunur Rashid placed her on remand for four days on August 5.

On August 4, a team of Intelligence Unit of Rapid Action Battalion raided the home of Pori Moni at Banani in the capital and detained her. 

The law enforcers said they also recovered a huge amount of narcotics from the residence during the drive.

At that time, RAB's Legal and Media Wing Director Khandaker Al Moin said they conducted the raid based on some specific allegations against her.

In mid-June, the Dhallywood actress made headlines accusing a businessman of taking a rape and murder attempt on her at Dhaka Boat Club in Savar on the outskirt of Dhaka.

Amid this, she faced allegations of vandalisms at a few clubs.
