Entertainment Report :

Popular film actor Nusraat Faria was detained at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport while attempting to leave the country this afternoon.
She was later taken to the DB office in Minto Road for questioning.

Sujan Haque, inspector (investigation) of Bhatara Police Station, said Immigration Police detained her at the airport. A team of Bhatara Police Station later took her into custody.

A Detective Branch (DB) official said the actor was then taken to the DB office on Minto Road from Bhatara Police Station.

“We are interrogating her. Next steps will be taken based on the outcome of the interrogation,” he also said.

Seventeen actors including Nusraat were sued on April 29 in an attempt to murder case — filed with Bhatara Police Station — over the July uprising. Inspector Sujan Haque said she will be shown arrested in this case.

The accused include Apu Biswas, Nipun Akter, Ashna Habib Bhabna, Zayed Khan, Suborna Mustafa, Rokeya Prachy, Sohana Saba, Meher Afroz Shaon, Jyotika Jyoti, Symon Sadik and Azizul Hakim.

Filed in March with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court of Dhaka, the case accuses the actors, ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and 265 others of attempted murder.

The complainant, one Enamul Haque, claimed he was injured during student protests in Bhatara last year.

After recording his statement, the court directed the officer-in-charge of Bhatara Police Station to register the complaint as a First Information Report. Police then registered the case on April 29.
