Investigation into the cases against arrested film actress Pori Moni, businesswoman Helena Jahangir, film producer Nazrul Islam Raj, and models Piasha and Mou is on the final stage, additional IGP and CID chief Mahbubur Rahman said on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters at his office in Dhaka, Mahbubur said CID has been investigating 15 cases against the arrested persons. The submission of the reports before court is expected to start in next one and a half months.

Asked about the drugs seized from the houses of Pori Moni, model Faria Mahbub Piasha and others, the additional inspector general of police said evidence of narcotics were recovered from their possessions.

“Chemical and forensic tests are being done to find out if those are narcotics at all,” he said.

When asked about the sources of the seized drugs, he said different sources were mentioned. But no matter from where the drugs came from, it is illegal to procure or stockpile these drugs, he said.

Pori Moni and Raj were arrested by Rapid Action Battalion following separate raids at Banani in Dhaka on August 4.

Earlier on August 3, RAB arrested Helena Jahangir at her Gulshan residence in the capital.

The Detective Branch of police arrested Piasha and Mou from the city on August 2 on charges of blackmailing people with objectionable pictures.
