The 31-year-old actress was detained at the immigration checkpoint while en route to Thailand, after an arrest warrant was issued, according to Bangladeshi media reports.

A case was registered against 17 actors, including Faria, for their alleged attempt to murder a student in the capital's Vatara during the student protests across Bangladesh in July last year, which led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina.

Our team went to the airport to get her based on information from the Immigration Police. A few days ago, a court approved an attempted murder case against her. She has been shown arrested in that case," bdnews24.com reported, quoting police officer Sujan Haque.

"The case was filed at the Vatara police station during the anti-discrimination student movement's protests," Haque added.

The actress was reportedly taken to the Vatara police station following her arrest. However, instead of keeping her in custody there, she was later transferred to the office of the Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Prothom Alo reported, quoting sources. 

Per local media, a court approved an attempted murder case against Faria a few days ago, following which she was arrested today. NDTV
