Nipun Akter’s membership in the Film Artists' Association has been suspended, but it has not been completely revoked.
Officer-in-charge of the airport's Immigration Police, Mostafa Nur-e-Bahar, confirmed that Nipun was prevented from boarding due to directives from intelligence bodies. "She left the airport of her own accord," he added. Nipun was scheduled to fly to London on Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG-201, which departed at 10:45 am without her.
The commissioner also revealed that Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, a prominent member of the Awami League's praesidium, made 17 calls to them, demanding Nipun's victory. The involvement of such a high-level political figure left the election officials stunned.
The newly elected BFAA general secretary had filed a petition with the chamber court of the Appellate Division seeking the removal of the legal impediments preventing him from performing his duties. In response to his application, the court has ruled that there are no longer any barriers to him taking up his responsibilities.

Responding to Nipun’s writ petition placed on Nipun’s behalf by her legal representative Advocate Polash Chandra Roy on May 15, the High Court has suspended the declaration of Dipjol as the winner for the General Secretary position in the Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association election for the 2024-26 term today (May 20).
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Star, the current president of the Bangladesh Film Artistes’ Association, Misha Sawdagar, shared his thoughts on the situation. He emphasised the importance of tolerance among artistes, stating, "Every artiste needs to be tolerant and compassionate."
The vigor surrounding the election of the Film Artistes’ Association has flared up once again. The conflict between the current President Misha Sawdagar, General Secretary Dipjol, and the former General Secretary Nipun, has now reached a peak.
Monowar Hossain Dipjol, the newly elected general secretary of the BFAA committee, has addressed the matter today, providing his perspective on the issue.
