A Dhaka court on Monday accepted the charges against film actress Pori Moni and two others in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Emrul Kayesh took the charges into cognisance and fixed December 14 for hearing on charge framing.

The two other accused are Ashraful Islam Dipu and Kabir Hossain.

Earlier on October 26, a Dhaka court granted bail to the three accused in the case.

The court also fixed November 15 for hearing on the acceptance of the charge sheet against them.

On October 4, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) submitted a charge sheet against Pori Moni and two others in the case.

CID Inspector Kazi Mostafa Kamal, also the investigating officer in the case, submitted the charge sheet to Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.

Pori Moni was arrested on August 4, following a raid by the Rapid Action Battalion on her Banani residence.

A case was filed against her under the Narcotics Control Act the following day.

On August 22, she was sent to jail after Inspector Mostafa Kamal produced her in a court on the completion of a day's police remand, her third.

On August 31, a Dhaka court granted bail to Pori Moni in the drugs case until submission of the charge sheet. She walked out of jail the following day.
