According to reports by Daily Star, Samsunnahar Smriti (whose stage name is Pori Moni) hosted a Facebook live session around 4 PM, only minutes prior to the RAB officials knocked at her door. "I'm afraid to open the door," she said in her live, alleging someone may have assumed the identity of said officials and visited her home to kill her.

Calling the entire episode "torture," she claimed to have called the police but received no positive response from them. "Will you come after I am dead? I might just die from a heart attack or a stroke," she said to her viewers on live, as per reports.

After half an hour, RAB made a four-hour search of her residence. Multiple arrests have already been made in the 'syndicate' operation, including of models and media personalities.

Earlier this year in June, Pori Moni had made headlines after levelling rape allegations on social media against noted businessman Nasir U Mahmood. The accused had been arrested, along with multiple others involved, following the actor's claims but were soon released on bail.
