Report: Influential actor involved in Bangladeshi actress Raima Islam Shimu murder case? – Times of India

Popular Bangladeshi actress Raima Islam Shimu who went missing on January 16 morning was discovered dead in the outskirts of Dhaka on January 17. Raima’s dead body, with so many injury marks, was found in a sack. Preliminary investigation from local police revealed that she was perhaps killed elsewhere and her body was dumped near a bridge in Keraniganj. Later, on January 18, Raima Islam Shimu’s husband Shakhawat Ali Nobel finally confessed his involvement in the murder of his wife after he was interrogated for hours.

Not just Shimu’s husband Nobel but one of his friends Abdullah Farhad was also taken into custody for further questioning. Raima Islam Shimu’s dead body was sent to Sir Salimullah Medical College Hospital for autopsy earlier on Tuesday as it had several injury marks.

While the reason behind this murder is yet to be known several media reports in Bangladesh are suggesting that there might be a family feud that triggered such a heinous act. There are also reports indicating that a reputed Bangladeshi actor might be involved in the murder case. Shimu was a member of Bangladesh Film Artists Association and police investigation is looking into every possible option that can be linked to the case. One Bangladeshi daily claimed that this influential actor is also a member of the Bangladesh Film Artists Association.

Shimu used to live with her husband and child and she went missing on Sunday morning. Later her family filed a missing diary suspecting something was not right.

Raima Islam Shimu made her acting debut in the 1998 film ‘Bartaman’ and since then acted in as many as 25 films and a few TV shows as well.
