The actress was brought to the court at 12 noon on Tuesday. At 12:45 pm, Pori Moni's grandfather came and stood in front of the jail. He was accompanied by three lawyers.
In response to a question from reporters at the time, Shamsul Haque said, "I came to Dhaka from the village this morning to see my granddaughter. I haven't seen her in a long time."
