Attempt to rape, murder Pori Moni: Charges against Nasir, 2 others accepted

A Dhaka tribunal today accepted the charges against three people, including Uttara Club Limited's former president Nasir U Mahmud and his associate Tuhin Siddiqui Omi, in an attempted rape and murder case filed by actress Pori Moni.

The other accused is Shah Shahidul Alam, who is shown as fugitive.

Judge Md Hemayet Uddin of Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-9 of Dhaka passed the order after scrutinising case dockets and other relevant documents.

Earlier in the day, the judge rejected the no-confidence petition filed by Pori Moni against the probe report of Savar police.

The judge issued arrest warrant against Alam as he did not get bail from any court.

The judge fixed March 3, 2022 for the next hearing of the case.

On September 6, Mohammad Kamal Hossain, inspector (investigation) of Savar Model Police Station and also the investigation officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet to the Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

Pori Moni filed the attempted rape and murder case against Nasir, also a real-estate businessman and presidium member of the Jatiya Party, Omi and four unidentified people on June 14.

A team of detectives carried out a raid at a house in Uttara Sector-1 and arrested Nasir and Omi in this connection the same day.

They were also shown arrested in another case filed with Airport Police Station under the Narcotics Control Act.
