Arrest warrant issued against 10 including Shaon 

A Dhaka court has issued an arrest warrant against 10 persons including actress Meher Afroz Shaon in a case filed by her stepmother Nishi Islam.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Chanaullah issued the order on Tuesday (22 April). Sources in the court said this on Wednesday.

 Nishi Islam filed the case accusing 12 persons, including former Detective Branch (DB) chief Harun-or-Rashid.

As Shaon, the main accused in the case, and the others were absent from the court, the court issued an arrest warrant against them.

According to the case details, in 2024, Shaon's father Engineer Mohammad Ali posted an advertisement on a marriage platform seeking a bride. He then met Nishi Islam and they got married. The accused assaulted and tortured her.
