Actress Pori Moni has been brought to court on Saturday after completion of one-day remand.
The actress, who was sued under narcotics control act, has been kept at Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court after the remand.
She was remanded for seven days in three terms.
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of police brought Pori Moni to the court at 11:50 in the morning.
Earlier, on Thursday, the court placed the actress on fresh remand for a day following a plea for a five-day remand by CID.
Chief public prosecutor Abdullah Abu told the court that foreign liquor, ‘ice’ or crystal meth and LSD were found at the residence of Pori Moni. Five-day remand was necessary to know the source of these drugs.
Pori Moni’s lawyer Mujibur Rahman told the court during the hearing on Thursday that fresh remand was not necessary since she had already been placed on remand for six days.
The lawyer also told the court that Pori Moni was ill and she would not flee if granted bail.
The court rejected the bail plea and granted a day remand for the actress.
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) detained Pori Moni on 4 August from her Banani residence. A case was filed against her on the following day.

At 4:05pm they received a tip-off that Pori Moni had collected foreign liquor from a house in Banani with the help of her assistant Ashraful Islam and had stocked it in her own flat.
Later, women members of RAB raided the flat on the fifth floor and detained Pori Moni from her house. The liquor and other narcotic substances seized from Pori Moni’s residence were worth around Tk 407,000, according to the case statement.
