Arrest warrant application issued against Pori Moni

Businessman Nasir Uddin Mahmud has filed an application for an arrest warrant against actress Pori Moni, alleging assault, attempted murder, vandalism, and intimidation.

The plaintiff's lawyer, Abul Kalam Mohammad Sohail, submitted the application in the court of Dhaka Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Saiful Islam on Thursday morning. The court reserved its order after the hearing.

The investigating officer of the case, PBI Dhaka district Inspector Md Monir Hossain, recently submitted a report to the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court of Dhaka, confirming the allegations of assault and intimidation against Pori Moni and her costume designer Junaid Baghdadi Jimmy, alias Jim. However, the accusations against another accused, Fatema Tuz Jannat Boni, were found to be unsubstantiated.

Businessman Nasir Uddin filed the case in court on July 6, 2022.

According to the case statement, Pori Moni and her associates were accused of being intoxicated. Allegedly taking advantage of this, they frequented various prominent clubs, consumed alcohol, and refused to pay for their orders. Pori Moni allegedly threatened harassment by filing false cases with police officials she knew. On June 9, 2021, around 12am, the accused entered Savar's Boat Club and used the second-floor restroom.

Later, they remained inside the club and consumed alcohol. As the plaintiff and his companion Shah Shahidul Alam were leaving the club at around 1:30am, Pori Moni reportedly called Nasir Uddin and urged him to join them for a while. Allegedly, Pori Moni then attempted to coerce Nasir Uddin into providing a free bottle of Blue Label alcohol. When the plaintiff refused, Pori Moni insulted him.

During a subsequent argument between the plaintiff and the accused, Pori Moni allegedly threw a serving glass and the plaintiff's mobile phone, resulting in injuries to Nasir Uddin's head and chest. Pori Moni and her associates purportedly threatened to beat and kill Nasir Uddin and engaged in vandalism.
