Testimony delayed for 1 month due to Porimoni’s illness

Testimony against three people, including actress Porimoni, in a drug case has been delayed for a month. The court has fixed March 1 for the hearing of testimony.

Judge Mohammad Nazrul Islam of Dhaka’s Special Judge’s Court-10 passed the order on Tuesday (February 1st). The information was confirmed by the court’s Assistant Public Prosecutor (PP) Mahabubul Hasan.

He said that Porimoni is pregnant and suffering from fever. For this reason, her lawyer appealed over time. The plaintiff in the case, DAD Mojibur Rahman of RAB-1, is undergoing treatment at the hospital. The court set a new date for the testimony of both the parties.

Earlier, the court had framed charges against three persons, including Porimoni, on January 5 in a case under the Narcotics Control Act.

The other two accused in the case are Ashraful Islam and Kabir Hossain. The two accused who were on bail were present in the court.

On August 4 last year, RAB raided Porimoni’s house in Banani of the capital. She was later arrested in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act at Gulshan police station in the capital. Two months after the case, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) filed a chargesheet against the three, including Porimoni, in court on October 4 last year. 19 people have been called as witnesses in the charge sheet.

The Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court took cognizance of the chargesheet filed by the police on November 15 last year. The case was later transferred to Dhaka Special Judge’s Court-10 for trial.

According to the complaint, there were no valid documents of drugs seized from Porimoni’s house. The CID was informed in writing by the Department of Narcotics Control that in the financial year 2019-20, licenses were issued in the name of Porimoni. The license expired on June 30 last year. Through the two accused Ashraful and Kabir in the case, Porimoni collected illegal drugs from different places and kept them at home. She could not give a satisfactory answer regarding drug possession. Porimoni used her car to carry drugs.
