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

Police today pressed charges against three people, including Uttara Club Limited's former president Nasir U Mahmud and his associate Tuhin Siddiqui Omi in an attempt to rape and murder case filed by film actor Pori Moni.

The other accused Shah Shahidul Alam, name was not mentioned in the First Information Report but was included in the charge sheet, after police found his involvement with the incident during the investigation.

Md Kamal Hossain, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Savar Model Police Station and also the investigation officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet to Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

Of them, Nasir and Omi are now on bail while Shahidul has been shown 'fugitive' in the charge sheet, OC Kazi Mainul Islam confirmed to The Daily Star.

The IO appealed to the court to issue arrest warrant against Shahidul.

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

On that very day, a team of detectives carried out a raid at a house in Uttara Sector-1 and arrested Nasir and Omi in this connection.

They were also shown arrested in another case filed with Airport Police Station under the Narcotics Control Act. Earlier both of them were charged with the case. Nasir is on bail while Omi is in jail.
