On 4 August, RAB officers raided Pori Moni's flat at the capital's Banani neighbourhood and arrested her along with aide Ashraful Islam.
As many as 19 bottles of foreign liquor and 4g of ice (street name of crystal methamphetamine) were seized from her flat.
A case was filed against her under the Narcotics Control Act the following day.
On 22 August, she was sent to jail after inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Kazi Golam Mostafa produced her in a court on the completion of a one-day remand, her third.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court, on 31 August, granted Pori Moni interim bail until the investigation report was submitted.
The actor walked out of jail on 1 September.
