Model Mou put on fresh remand

A court in Dhaka on Friday placed model Moriom Akter Mou on a fresh four-day remand in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Satyabrata Shikder gave the order after police produced her before the court, seeking a 10-day remand in custody. 

Earlier on Monday, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahidul Islam granted police three days to interrogate her in the lawsuit. 

Police conducted a drive at model Faria Mahbub Piasha's house in the capital's Baridhara on Sunday night and detained her.

On information gleaned from her, the detective branch of police raided the house of Mou on Babor Road at Mohammadpur early Monday and nabbed her.

In a press briefing after the drives, Dhaka Metropolitan Police detective branch Joint Commissioner Harun Ur Rashid had said Piasha and Mou are the members of a gang. 

Their houses were raided as part of an investigation into the allegations of blackmailing many people against them, he said.

Foreign alcohol, Yaba pills, and leads were seized from their houses, and Mou's house had a liquor bar, too.
