Singer Mila sues ex-husband for dowry

Singer Mila Islam on Thursday filed a case against three people, including her former husband Parvez Sanjari, accusing them of physical assault and demanding dowry.

She filed the case at Bangladesh Cyber Tribunal under the Digital Security Act in the afternoon. The other accused are Parvez's brother SMR Rahman and cousin Khan Al-Amin.

Judge Md Assams Jaglul Hossain directed the Cyber unit of Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime of Police to investigate and submit a report on 16 September.

Earlier on 5 October, 2017, Mila filed a case against Parvez under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act for domestic violence. Parvez was subsequently arrested but got out on bail two days later.

On 20 May, Mila's husband also filed a case against her under the Digital Security Act accusing her of defaming him and spreading falsehood against him on social media.

Mila and Parvez tied the knot on 12 May, 2017.
