Dhallywood actress Nipun Akter was barred from boarding a London-bound flight from Sylhet Osmani International Airport on Friday morning. Her flight to London has been canceled.
She was taken into custody by the airport immigration police while preparing to board a Bangladesh Biman flight to London.
Immigration police said the National Security Intelligence Service (NSI) raised objections to actress Nipun's London trip. Airport authorities then took her into custody for questioning.
Nipun's flight to London was canceled after her passport and other documents were checked. However, it is still unclear why NSI objected.
When asked about the matter, an official of the airport immigration police said, "There was an objection from the NSI. We have taken action as per their instructions."
The arrest of actress Nipun and cancellation of her London trip has created a stir in the showbiz arena. However, no reaction was received from Nipun or her family on the matter.
Nipun has been in the headlines before, embroiled in various controversies. In the wake of this incident, discussions have begun about his professional future.
