Pori Moni accused of assaulting domestic help

Actress Pori Moni has been accused of physically assaulting her domestic worker in the capital.

Pinky Akter, the domestic worker filed a general diary (GD) with the Vatara Police Station on Thursday (April 3). However, the issue came to the limelight today (April 4).

Md Mazharul Islam, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Vatara police station, said, “The victim filed a GD. We are investing the issue.”

Pinky said that a month ago, she got a job at Parimoni's house in Bashundhara residential area through a person named Kader. Her primary responsibility was to take care of the actress’s child and ensure regular feeding.

Recounting the incident, Pinky said, "On April 2, I was preparing a grocery list when the baby started crying. A man named Sourav, a frequent visitor to the house, suggested giving the child solid food. I informed him that the baby had eaten solid food recently and was due for milk instead. As I was preparing the milk, Pori Moni came out of her makeup room and began shouting at me, using offensive language. She accused me of making decisions about her child’s feeding without her permission."

At one stage, Pori Moni slapped Pinky multiple times and hit her on the head, she added.
