CID files charge sheet against Pori Moni

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Monday pressed charges against actor Pori Moni and two others in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act. The two other accused were identified as Ashraful Islam Dipu and Kabir Chowdhury.

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) detained Pori Moni on August 4 from her Banani flat in Dhaka and seized huge amounts of foreign liquors and different drugs from there. A minibar was found at Pori Moni’s residence where she regularly arranged parties, RAB said.

RAB brought drugs-related charges against Pori Moni and her aide Dipu in the case filed with Banani police station on August 6.

CID Inspector Kazi Mostafa Kamal, who is the investigating officer (IO) in the drugs case, submitted the charge sheet to a Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court. On September 28, a court asked police to return 16 items including a car, iPhone and laptop to Pori Moni, which were earlier seized from the actress.

The IO on September 26 filed a report, proposing to return the goods, saying it would not hamper the probe. On August 31, Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge KM Emrul Kayes granted Pori Moni bail in the case and she was finally released from jail the next day.
