A Dhaka court on Tuesday summoned actor Shakib Khan to submit a written statement by May 15, in regards to the civil suit filed by film producer Rahmat Ullah, demanding Tk100 crore from the film star as compensation.
Judge Md Masudul Haque of Dhaka’s First Joint District Judge’s Court passed the order after Rahmat Ullah
submitted the highest court-fee against the lawsuit. Earlier on April 30, Rahmat Ullah filed the suit against Shakib Khan claiming Tk100 crore
as compensation.
After accepting the lawsuit, the judge asked the plaintiff to submit the court-fee. Before that, Rahmat Ullah’s lawyer had sent a legal notice to Shakib Khan requesting him to withdraw his offensive and defamatory remarks made to the media, involving
his client.
Earlier, on March 23, Shakib Khan filed a case against Rahmat Ullah with a Dhaka court on the charges of extortion. Following a hearing, the magistrate had recorded Shakib’s testimony, after taking cognizance of the charges against the
producer. On March 27, Shakib filed another case with a Dhaka Tribunal, against Rahmat Ullah, under the Digital Security Act (DSA), for making ‘objectionable’ remarks about him. After the hearing, judge AM Zulfiker Hayet, from the Dhaka Cyber Tribunal, recorded Shakib’s statement.
