Pori Moni appears in court

Film actress Pori Moni appeared before the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in a drugs case filed against her at the Banani police station.

The case is slated to come up for hearing later in the day, reports UNB.

Pori Moni’s lawyer Nilanjana Rifat said the investigation report in the case will also be submitted to the court on Wednesday.

Pori Moni was arrested on August 4, following a raid by RAB on her Banani residence.

A case was filed against her under the Narcotics Control Act the following day.

On August 31, a Dhaka court granted bail to Pori Moni in the drugs case. She was released from jail on September 1, some 27 days after her arrest.

Meanwhile, the High Court on Wednesday expressed dissatisfaction over the explanation of two lower court judges, who had placed actress Pori Moni in police remand for multiple times in a drugs case.

In their explanation, the two judges said that they made the unintentional mistake in good faith and sought exemption from their explanation.

The HC bench on Wednesday said that the High Court has been under minded as the two judges did not believe that they had granted remand orders for Pori Moni in three phases in violation of Supreme Court directives and guidelines as well as abusing of their power.
