On July 6 of 2022, former Dhaka Boat Club executive and businessman Nasir, filed the case.
According to Nasir's complaint, Pori and her friends were alcoholics. They used to visit famous clubs, get drunk and take liquor with them without making payment, by threatening to file fake cases using their connections with police.
On the night of June 9, 2021, Pori and her associates went to Dhaka Boat Club in Savar after midnight and got drunk. Before leaving around 1:00am Pori asked the plaintiff to sit with her for a while.
According to the complaint, she tried to seduce Nasir and take a bottle of liquor as a parcel for free which the plaintiff denied.
After that Pori Moni started assaulting him verbally and threw a serving glass and phone at Nasir, hurting him on the head and chest. They also threatened to beat up and kill Nasir, he said in the statement.
Later to cover up the incident, she filed a case against Nasir and two others with Savar Police Station on charges of rape and murder attempts.
