Popular Dhallywood star Pori Moni has been sent to jail after rejecting her bail petition in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act on Saturday (August 21) by a Dhaka court.
Metropolitan Magistrate Ashek Imam passed the order after CID Inspector Kazi Golam Mostafa, the investigation officer on the ongoing case, produced her before the court on completion of her one day remand.
Metropolitan Magistrate Md Atikul Islam’s court granted local police one day to interrogate Pori in the same case on Thursday (August 19).
CID inspector Mostofa had sought five days to interrogate her further, while Pori’s lawyers filed a petition seeking bail and opposing the remand petition.
The court rejected the bail plea after hearing and gave police one day to question her.
On Aug 16, Pori’s lawyer Mojibur Rahman had petitioned Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rezaul Karim Chowdhury for bail but the court had set August 18 for the hearing which was rescheduled later on.
Previously, Dhallywood star Pori Moni became the talk of the nation in Bangladesh after a series of raids on August 4.
