Court summons Pori Moni in assault case

 A Dhaka court has summoned actress Pori Moni and Junayed Bogdadi Jimmy alias Jim in a case lodged by businessman Nasir Uddin Mahmud on the charges of vandalizing, threatening and attempting to murder him.

Dhaka Senior Judicial Magistrate Saiful Islam passed the order on Thursday, allowing a plea of the plaintiff. The court has also asked the two accused to appear before it on June 25.

Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) recently filed its report before the court, saying they have found evidences against the two accused - Pori Moni and Jimmy. They, however, gave clean chit to another accused Fatema Tuz Jannat Bonny.

Nasir Uddin Mahmud filed the case against three, including Pori Moni, on July 6, 2022, for vandalizing Dhaka Boat Club on June 9, 2021, threatening him after boozing there without paying the bills and attempting to murder him.

The plaintiff’s lawyer, Abul Kalam Mohammad Sohail, submitted an application for an arrest warrant against actress Pori Moni in the attempted murder case. 

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.
