Controversial Bangladeshi film actress Pori Moni has alleged that she faced an "unwanted situation" and that her vehicle came under attack following a late-night incident in the capital's Gulshan area.
The actress shared her claims during a Facebook live broadcast at around 12:45 AM, stating that the incident occurred as she was leaving a shooting club following an event on Sunday night.
Marking the final day of a five-day programme at the venue, Pori Moni claimed that stall vandalism also took place and questioned who would take responsibility for the alleged harassment of attending artists.
According to Pori Moni, the incident was pre-planned. She stated that while she was unable to take the stage at her scheduled performance time due to disruptions, the audience still enjoyed the overall event. "After the entire programme ended, someone raised a voice in an attacking mode," she said, adding that anyone with personal grievances should have addressed them with her directly.
She further alleged that her car was attacked and vandalized as she attempted to leave, forcing her to call the police. Expressing frustration over security, she remarked during her live broadcast, "Even with Gulshan police station officers present, they were unable to safely escort me out... Where is the security in this country?"
In response, Gulshan Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Zayed Nur stated, "An issue occurred, but Pori Moni has left and there is no further trouble." Regarding the alleged vandalism of the vehicle or event stalls, the OC noted, "We have no knowledge of any vandalism. Pori Moni returned home safely."
