DHAKA, April 22, 2025 (BSS) - A woman has filed a case against two people 
including actress Shamsun Nahar Smriti, popularly known as Pori Moni, for 
assaulting her while working at the latter's flat in 2024.

Pinki Akter, who used to work as a maid at Pori Moni's flat in 2024, filed 
the case against the actress and one of her associates Sourav, 28, with the 
court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nazmin Akter on April 17. 

After recording the statement of the plaintiff, the court asked the Police 
Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to probe and file its report by May 8.

Confirming the matter to BSS, plaintiff's counsel Advocate Nasidus Zaman 
Nishan said Pinki joined work at Pori Moni's flat in March 2024 through an 
agency.

"On April 2, 2024, Pori Moni, after getting high on drugs, started abusing 
the maid [Pinki] for talking about giving milk to her child. She said it was 
time to give the baby solid food. As my client told the actress that as per 
chart, it was time for milk. After hearing that, Pori Moni started thrashing 
her, slapping, punching her, on her face and head indiscriminately. At one 
stage, Pinki became senseless. Another accused Sourav was present on the 
scene during the incident and he incited Pori Moni to beat Pinki more instead 
of stopping her [Pori Moni]," Adv Nishan said.

Later, the victim called the police through dialing 999 and came out of the 
house. She later took treatment at Dhaka Kurmitola General Hospital.
