A Dhaka court on Monday issued arrest warrant against Badruddin Ahmed Razi, husband of model and actor Sarika Sabrin in a case lodged for allegedly physically assaulting her for dowry.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Farah Diba Chonda passed the order, after recording statements of the victim and plaintiff Sarika.
The court also set December 21 for submitting report on executing Monday's order, plaintiff's counsel Advocate Masudur Rahman Masud told BSS.
According to the case documents, Sarika and Razi tied the knot on February 2, 2022. Sarika's parents presented full set of furniture along with gold ornaments of Taka 25 lakh in the marriage. But after few days, Razi allegedly began assaulting Sarika for Taka 50 lakh in dowry and recently sent Sarika back to her parents' home.
On November 19, members of the two families tried to sort things out through mutual negotiation, but Razi again at that meeting demanded Taka 50 lakh for 'investing in businesses and threatened to divorce Sarika and marry another girl for the money, unless his demands are made.
