Actress Sohana Saba has been brought to the Detective Branch (DB) office for questioning. Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Media and Public Relations Division Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Wilbur Rahman said this Thursday night.
Earlier in the evening, actress and director Meher Afroz Shaon was also taken into DB custody from her residence in Dhaka's Dhanmondi area. DB Chief Rezaul Karim Mallick said that Shaon was detained on charges of conspiring against the state.
She has been taken to the DB office on Mintoo Road for further questioning. These actions follow recent discussions and criticisms surrounding Shaon's political stance and certain comments she made, which have been widely debated on social media and other platforms.
In a related incident, Shaon's ancestral home in Jamalpur was set ablaze by protesters. The house, belonging to her father, Engineer Mohammad Ali, was torched around 6:00 pm near Narundi Railway Station in Jamalpur Sadar Upazila.
The DB has not yet disclosed specific details regarding the allegations against Sohana Saba. Both actresses are currently under investigation and further updates are awaited.
Sohana Saba is a prominent figure in the Bangladeshi entertainment industry, known for her roles in films such as "Ayna" and "Brihonnola." Meher Afroz Shaon is an actress, director, and architect, recognised for her contributions to Bangladeshi cinema and her work as a playback singer.
