Indictment in Pori Moni Drug Case Deferred

The indictment in the drug case against actress Pori Moni, has been deferred after she reported feeling too sick to appear in court on Tuesday.

Her lawyer Nilanjana Rifat Surovi said, Pori Moni had been on her way to the hearing but experienced a bout of vertigo that forced her to return home before she reached the court premises.

We requested more time and the judge granted it, she said.

Dhaka Special Judge’s Court-10 Judge Nazrul Islam set Jan 2 as the new date for the hearing of charges.

The other two accused in the case – Kabir Hossain and Ashraful Islam Dipu – surrendered to the court and secured bail.

Earlier, on Oct 4, case investigation officer and CID Inspector Mostafa Kamal submitted the chargesheet against the three accused to the court.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Kayes accepted the chargesheet on Nov 15. The case was then transferred to the Special Judge’s Court. The court had also set Dec 14 for the indictment.
