No legal bar on shooting for Pori Moni: Lawyer

Actor Pori Moni, released on bail from jail today in a Narcotics case, will be able to resume shooting as there is no legal bar, said her lawyer.

"She (Pori Moni) will be able to go to the shooting, there is no barrier from the court. She's a little sick, but she'll definitely start shooting," said Pori Moni's lawyer Nelanjona Refat Surovi while responding to reporters.

Surovi noted that the actor will be undergoing treatment soon. "Her family will take necessary steps to help her recover," she added.

The lawyer further said Pori Moni has not been barred from talking to the media.

"There is no barrier (for her) to talking to the media but she refrained herself for sickness," she added.

Surovi also said the actor will apply for bail again after law enforcement agencies file a charge sheet in the Narcotics case.

The lawyer had received Pori Moni after she walked out of the Kashimpur prison this morning.

Earlier on Tuesday, Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge KM Imrul Kayes granted Pori Moni bail until the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) submits the investigation report in the case filed against her at Banani police station.

On 4 August night, the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) raided Pori Moni's house in Dhaka's Banani area and arrested her. The next day, they filed a case under the Narcotics Act at the Banani police station.

After that, the CID took Pori Moni in its custody for seven days in three phases to investigate the case. When she was produced in court on 21 August after the third remand, the judge ordered her to be sent to jail.

Later, Pori Moni's lawyer applied for bail in the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court. The judge initially set 13 September as the hearing date for the bail plea, but it was held earlier when the High Court raised questions regarding the delay in holding the hearing.
