Actress Pori Moni’s late-night claim that attackers had vandalised her car in the upscale Gulshan area of the capital has come under scrutiny after police found no visible signs of damage to the vehicle.
The Dhallywood actress, known for her frequent controversies, went live on her verified Facebook page at around 12.45am on Monday, claiming that someone had deliberately attacked and vandalised her car. She described the incident as highly planned and questioned the country’s security arrangements.
During the live broadcast, Pori Moni said she had contacted the emergency services following the alleged attack. Police soon arrived at the scene and helped her, she claimed. However, she immediately pointed the finger at journalists over the incident.
Following her live broadcast, police arrived at the venue and closely inspected the actress’s car. However, the inspection revealed no visible signs of vandalism or even the slightest evidence of damage. Those present at the scene also found the vehicle completely intact.
Journalists, meanwhile, alleged that Pori Moni had first shown them her middle finger and hurled abuses at them. In response, they chanted “bhuya, bhuya” (fake) at the actress.
Speaking to journalists about the incident at Gulshan Shooting Club, Gulshan Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abuzayed Md Najmun Nur said “There was an issue. Pori Moni later left the scene. She returned safely, and there has been no further trouble,” he said.
The OC added that police would investigate if anyone filed a formal complaint.
He also confirmed they found no evidence of damage to the car. “The officers found no evidence of vandalism to the car,” he added.
