Porimoni alleges chaos and attack on her car at Gulshan event
Film actress Porimoni has alleged chaos and vandalism at an event at the Gulshan Shooting Club in the capital. She claimed that her car was attacked and vandalised as she was leaving after the event late on Sunday night. The actress also alleged that the incident was planned.
Porimoni made the allegations in a Facebook live broadcast at around 12:45am on Sunday night. She also raised allegations of vandalism at the event's stalls and questioned who would take responsibility for it.
Porimoni said she could not take the stage at her scheduled performance time at the event. The audience, however, enjoyed the whole event.
After the event ended, one person began speaking in an aggressive manner. She urged anyone with a grievance to speak to her directly.
Porimoni alleged that her car was attacked and vandalised as she was leaving after the event. Because of the situation, she could not get into her car, and she had to phone the police station.
In the Facebook live, Porimoni said, 'Even with the Gulshan police station here, they could not get me out, they called for extra police. Then whose hands is the country in?' She alleged that although police were present at the scene, they could not help her leave.
Raising the allegation of stall vandalism at the event, Porimoni asked who would take responsibility for the vandalism. If artistes are harassed after coming to an event, who is responsible, she asked. She urged anyone with a grievance against her to sit down and talk directly.
Gulshan police station's officer-in-charge (OC) Zayed Noor said there had been a problem, but Porimoni later left and there was no further trouble.
The OC said the event at the Shooting Club had been running for five days, and Sunday was its last day.
Asked about the vandalism of Porimoni's car or the event stalls, he said he knew of no incident of vandalism. Porimoni returned home safely, he said. Her car, however, was seen to be undamaged.
Earlier, on 5 November, Porimoni came into the news over an unpleasant incident with journalists after she surrendered in court in a case and secured bail. Within a few days, she has now alleged chaos and an attack on her car at the Gulshan event.
There is a difference between Porimoni's allegations and the police station's account of the incident. While Porimoni has alleged an attack and vandalism, the officer-in-charge has said he knows of no incident of vandalism.
