After detaining popular television drama and film director Chayanika Chowdhury, the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Friday (August 6) detained Pori Moni's costume designer Jimmy.
Earlier, police said Pori Moni's female associate, along with Jimmy, would be arrested as the Dhallywood starlet was involved in the unethical business behind her film career.
On Wednesday (August 4) evening, RAB detained Pori Moni after a raid at her Banani residence in the capital.
Chayanika was taken to the office of Detective Branch at Minto road just after she left a talk show on Somoy TV in the capital, said Nazmul Haque, additional deputy commissioner of DB Cyber and Special Crime, confirmed the news to the press.
"Pori Moni revealed the name of a female director during her interrogation. After their face-to-face interrogation, DB will verify whether the director was Chayanika," the DB official told the press.
However, no clear allegations against the popular female director were made by the law enforcers at the time of writing this report.
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Pori Moni and her friend, producer-director Nazrul Islam Raz, among others on Wednesday.
A mini bar was found at Pori Moni’s Banani residence where she regularly arranged parties, according to RAB.
They seized 33 bottles of different types of foreign liquor, more than 150 used foreign liquor bottles, yaba tablets, LSD and “ice” from Pori Moni’s home.
According to RAB, the syndicate run by Pori and Raz used to host DJ parties in several upscale areas, including Gulshan and Banani, and supply illegal drugs, using the parties as a cover.
