At one stage of acquaintance, Mamun established a love relationship with me by tempting to marry me. He told me that he doesn't have his own house in Dhaka. As the love affair developed and Mamun told me that he would marry me, I believed him and allowed him to stay in my house.
On January 7, 2022, Mamun came to live in my house along with his mother. From that day he started staying in the same room with me in my house. Enticed me into marriage and had physical relations with me against my will multiple times on different dates and times. When I told Mamun about marriage, he avoided it with various excuses.

I'm a director. When actors and actresses come to work on my project, I only give them directions. I have no involvement in their personal lives, their work, their journeys. Of course, they are my team members. But that's only when they're doing the job. They have private lives out there.
