Nasir’s Case: Pori Moni summoned on June 25

A Dhaka court yesterday summoned two people, including actress Pori Moni, to appear before it on June 25 in a case filed by Uttara Club Limited’s former president Nasir U Mahmud in July 2022.

In the case, Nasir brought allegations of assault, vandalism, attempted murder, and issuing threats against them.

After accepting charges brought against them, Dhaka Senior Judicial Magistrate M Saiful Islam summoned Pori Moni and her costume designer Junayed Karim Jimmy alias Jimmy.

The magistrate also discharged another accused Fatema-tuz-Jannat Bony from the charges of the case, as the investigation officer did not find any involvement against her.

On March 18 this year, Inspector Md Monir Hossain of Dhaka District’s Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), also the IO of the case, pressed charges against them.

Pori Moni had earlier, on June 14, 2021, filed a case against Nasir and two others with Savar Police Station on charges of rape and murder attempts, centring the same incident that took place on June 9 of the same year.

The case is now pending with the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-9 of Dhaka.

On July 6, 2022, former Dhaka Boat Club executive and businessman Nasir filed the case — in which the court summoned the actress yesterday — against Pori Moni and the two others.

According to Nasir’s complaint, Pori and her friends used to visit famous clubs, get drunk, and take liquor with them without making payment by threatening to file fake cases using their connections with the police.

On the night of June 9, 2021, Pori and her associates went to Dhaka Boat Club in Savar. Later, Pori tried to take a bottle of liquor as a parcel for free, which the plaintiff denied.

After that, Pori Moni started assaulting him verbally and threw a serving glass and phone at Nasir, hurting him on the head and chest. They also threatened to beat up and kill Nasir, he said in the statement.

To cover up the incident, Pori Moni filed the case against Nasir and the others, the complaint also said.

Meanwhile, Pori Moni and two others are also facing a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act, which is now pending with the Special Judge Court-10 of Dhaka.
