Porimoni Granted Bail, Announces Decision to Quit Work in Bangladesh

On July 18, 2022, businessman Nasir Uddin Mahmud filed a complaint against Porimoni in a Dhaka court, accusing her of assault and attempted murder. In that case, Porimoni surrendered to the court and was granted bail. After receiving bail, she responded, saying, “This is a false case. I expect justice.”

Porimoni surrendered to the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court in Dhaka at 10 AM on Monday, January 27. Her lawyer, Nilanjana Rifaat Suravi, filed a bail application on her behalf. After the hearing, the court granted her bail with a bond of one thousand Taka.

The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) had investigated the case and submitted a report to the CJM court in April of the previous year. The CJM court took the PBI’s report into account on April 18, 2024.

Previously, on June 8, 2021, Porimoni filed a case against businessman Nasir and five others in Savar’s Biruliya for allegations of rape and attempted murder. The police submitted charges against Nasir and three others on September 6, 2022. The Dhaka Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-9 framed charges against the three defendants on May 18, 2022. The case is currently at the witness testimony stage, according to Porimoni’s lawyer.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, January 26, several media outlets reported that after the July revolution, there has been chaos and despair in the country’s arts and entertainment industries. Porimoni said, “There is no environment for work here. So, I will work abroad instead of in this country.” She added, “I won’t work in this country anymore. I won’t go for any promotions, I won’t be allowed to attend shootings, it’s not possible! It’s unbearable. I worked, but couldn’t attend any promotions! I can’t go for any hall visits, I can’t be in public. What should I do? What is my job? This life is not what we wanted! This country is not what we wanted. Why is this happening, who is responsible for it? It’s happening due to a very small group of people. With a larger population and workforce, how are we letting this happen? Are we failing? How long can I speak alone?”

She further said, “We fought for something good. Maybe I couldn’t fight on the ground, but we all had dreams. At the end of the day, we want good things. What kind of good are we asking for? In no time, we will be destroyed. Without work, artists will disappear. Fundamentalists are protesting against culture. And the government is accepting it. So should they just shut down dramas and films in Bangladesh? Nothing will happen here. If we protest, we are harassed.”

Recently, while attending an event, Porimoni faced obstruction from the leaders and activists of the hardline Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islam in Bangladesh. She said, “I had been promoting for ten days that I would go to Tangail for a showroom inauguration. The night before the event, I was told there was a security concern, so the event was canceled. I was shocked. Why are such things happening in our country? Why will artists be obstructed from doing their work? Big stars around the world inaugurate showrooms. What’s wrong with that? Where are we? How are we? Where is the industry? Our existence is under threat.”

When asked about her future plans, Porimoni said, “I want to live quietly with my two children. After all, I have to take care of them. I have no family left. I lost my parents at a young age. My only refuge was my grandfather, but he too has passed. I have to look after everything myself. I just want to survive with Rajya and Priyom. I may leave the country because I don’t see any environment for work or living here. All our dreams in this country are shattered. Everyone is getting disappointed.”
