C T Online Desk: Dhallywood actor Mahiya Mahi said that she only talked about one police officer, and not the whole police department. 

“I am not a traitor, I only talked about one person, who is GMP Commissioner Molla Nazrul Islam. I did not talk about the whole department,” she told reporters on Saturday, hours after being released from jail.

“He (GMP Commissioner Molla Nazrul Islam) filed a case against me. I only spoke about injustice,” she added.

The actor added: “I want to inform everyone through my journalist brothers that I have met many police officers throughout my life. I have seen the chief of police up front, and I have spoken to the heads of various forces. They are very nice, they know how to respect people.”

While talking about her experience at the airport, Mahiya Mahi said: “When I was being arrested at the airport, I told police that I was having difficulties breathing, and they told me I have to go like this anyway.”

“I asked for water, and it took them over an hour to give me water,” the actor noted.

Mahiya Mahi further said the behaviour police officers showed her, made her feel like a war criminal.

“Their behaviour made me feel like a war criminal. My uncle went to the airport. They did not even let me meet any of them,” she added.

Expressing her concern about her husband, the actor said: “Even as a pregnant woman, I did not get any help. There is also a case against my husband. What will be done with him when he comes back to Bangladesh? I am very worried about my husband’s safety.’

Dhallywood actor Mahiya Mahi walked out of jail on Saturday, just a few hours after being sent to jail in two cases.

She was released at around 7:50pm on Saturday, after securing bail in both cases, Superintendent of Gazipur District Jail Anwarul Karim told Dhaka Tribune.

Two separate cases were filed against Mahiya Mahi and Rakib Sarker at Gazipur’s Bason police station on charges of land grabbing and tarnishing the image of the police.

Rokon Miah, sub-inspector at Bason police station, filed one case on Friday night under the Digital Security Act (DSA), accusing the couple of impairing the law and order situation by spreading fabricated information with the intention of defamation.

GMP Commissioner Molla Nazrul Islam said Mahi had accused the GMP of taking “bribes” on Facebook.

Another case was filed by Ismail Hossain, a resident of the Dighirchala area, who accused the couple of land-grabbing.
