Actress Mehazabein, her brother face arrest warrants
A Dhaka court on Sunday issued warrants for the arrest of popular actress Mehazabien Chowdhury and her brother Alisan Chowdhury in a case over embezzlement of Tk 27 lakh.
Judge of the Dhaka Executive Magistrate Court-3 Afroza Tania passed the order and fixed December 18 for the next hearing.
The accused were scheduled to appear before the court on November 10 but failed to do so.
According to the case statement, Mehazabien took Tk 27 lakh from plaintiff Amirul Islam through Nagad and bKash, promising to make him a business partner in a new family venture.
When Mehazabien and her brother did not initiate any business activities for a long period, Amirul asked for his money back but they delayed repayment.
On February 11, after Amirul again sought the refund, the accused asked him to meet at Hatirjheel Road on March 16, reports UNB.
Upon reaching the designated spot, Amirul was verbally abused and threatened with death by Mehazabien, her brother, and 4–5 others if he appeared near the actress’ residence, it said.
Amirul filed a case with Dhaka Executive Magistrate on March 24.
