Actress Nusrat Faria has been sent to jail in connection with attempted murder case of Enamul Haque, related to the July Movement in the Vatara Police Station area.

On Monday (May 19), Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nasreen Akhtar ordered her imprisonment. Prior to the ruling, the investigation officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Md. Billal Bhuiyan from Vatara Police Station, requested that she be sent to jail. The defense lawyer filed a bail petition, which was opposed by the Public Prosecutor. After a hearing, the judge rejected the bail request and ordered her to be sent to jail. The judge also set May 22 as the date for the next bail hearing.

Earlier, on her way to Thailand, Nusrat Faria was arrested at the airport and officially charged by the police.
