, May 19 -- A Dhaka court on Monday sent popular actress Nusrat Faria to jail in connection with an attempted murder case.

Metropolitan Magistrate Naznin Akter sent Faria to jail after she was produced before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court in the morning.

Sub-Inspector Billal Bhuiyan, the investigation officer of the case, appealed to the court to keep her in jail while defence lawyers submitted a petition seeking bail.

Metropolitan Public Prosecutor (PP) Omar Faruk Faruki opposed the bail plea during the hearing.

The court also set May 22 for the hearing on her bail plea.

Nusrat Faria was detained by the immigration police at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Sunday while attempting to leave for Thailand.
