Pori Moni's bail hearing on 13 Sept
A Dhaka court on Sunday set 13 September for hearing a plea seeking bail for jailed film actress Pori Moni being held in a narcotics case, reports UNB.
Dhaka metropolitan session judge KM Imrul Kayesh set the date after her lawyer Mojibur Rahman submitted the latest bail petition on Sunday.
Lawyer Mojibur said the earlier bail petition filed with Dhaka chief magistrate's court was rejected.
"For a long time Pori Moni has been behind bars and she is physically unwell. It's hampering her professional commitments. Hopefully the court will consider all this and grant her the bail," said the lawyer.
On Saturday Pori Moni was sent to jail after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inspector Kazi Golam Mostafa produced her before the court on completion of a one-day remand. No bail petition was submitted on her behalf on this day.
The latest bail plea was filed a day after she expressed her anguish at her lawyers for not filing bail petition on Saturday.
