                <![CDATA[A little away from the hustle and bustle of Chattogram city, nestled between hills and lush greenery, lies a breathtakingly beautiful road &mdash; the Bayezid Link Road. More than just a highway, it has become a new favorite destination for city dwellers seeking a touch of nature and adventure. This scenic stretch combines the charm of nature, the brilliance of modern engineering, and the thrill of the open road into one unique experience.

Stretching from Bayezid Bostami to Fouzdarhat, the road is flanked by steep hills and dense green forests. Each turn reveals a new view &mdash; as if the landscape itself were a living painting. In the misty mornings or under the crimson hues of sunset, the hills change color, creating a mesmerizing sight for nature lovers and travelers alike.

One of the most distinctive features of this road is its elevation and curves, which create a roller-coaster-like thrill for drivers. For motorbike enthusiasts, it has become one of the most popular riding spots in the city.

Along the roadside, small tea stalls and cozy caf&eacute;s have sprung up, where people gather in the evenings to enjoy conversations in the cool hill breeze. Its scenic beauty has also made it a hotspot for photography and social media enthusiasts, who come here to capture the perfect shot.

Today, Bayezid Link Road is no longer just a means of transportation &mdash; it has become a symbol of joy and relaxation for the people of Chattogram. With its seamless blend of natural beauty and modern road design, it feels like a slice of paradise among the hills. However, to preserve its charm, safety measures and proper management are essential so that this remarkable place can continue to thrive as a safe, sustainable, and complete tourist destination.

                <![CDATA[Bangladeshi authorities have alerted immigration officials to prevent suspects from fleeing the country following the filing of a murder case nearly 29 years after the actor&rsquo;s death.

Ramna Police Station Officer-in-Charge Golam Faruk confirmed on Saturday that a murder case has been filed against 11 individuals, including Salman Shah&rsquo;s ex-wife Samira Haque, in compliance with a Dhaka court order. Several other accused are listed as &quot;unknown&quot; as the investigation continues.

&ldquo;The investigation is underway,&rdquo; Faruk said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re using mobile tracking and other digital tools to locate the suspects within Bangladesh and tracing those believed to be abroad. Immigration checkposts have been notified to stop any accused from leaving the country.&rdquo;

Salman Shah was found dead at his Eskaton residence in Dhaka on September 6, 1996, at the age of 26. While the original Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) report concluded he died by suicide, his family has long contested this, alleging foul play. His mother, Neela Chowdhury, has consistently claimed he was murdered.

The formal murder case was filed on October 21, 2025, with Alamgir Kumkum, the actor&rsquo;s maternal uncle, acting as the complainant. The move follows years of public pressure and legal appeals for a fresh inquiry. The accuseds are including Samira Haque (former wife), businessman Aziz Mohammad Bhai, Latifa Haque Lucy, film actor Don and several others linked to the deceased.

Authorities said that forensic evidence, witness statements, and new leads have prompted them to treat the case as a potential homicide involving conspiracy. &ldquo;We are committed to uncovering the truth,&rdquo; OC Faruk added. &ldquo;The suspects will be arrested soon and brought to justice under due process.&rdquo;

The case has reignited national interest in one of Bangladesh&rsquo;s most haunting celebrity mysteries. With investigations now active and suspects under surveillance, many hope that long-delayed answers&mdash;and accountability&mdash;may finally emerge.

                <![CDATA[Police have recommended to drop the murder charge against actor Iresh Zaker and Ikram Moin Chowdhury, managing director of Forethought PR (a concern of Asiatic), in a case over the killing of BNP activist Mahfuz Alam Shraban in Dhaka&rsquo;s Mirpur area. Mirpur Model Police Station Inspector Sajjad Roman, the investigation officer, submitted an interim investigation report to the court on October 9, sources at the Dhaka court confirmed on Thursday (October 23).

According to the report, investigators found no eyewitnesses or credible evidence placing Iresh Zaker or Ikram Moin Chowdhury at the crime scene around 2:30 pm on August 5, 2024. No still images or video footage showed their presence and no documentary or circumstantial proof linked them to the incident. The officer, therefore, recommended that they be temporarily released from the charges. The report adds that legal action would be taken if any new evidence emerges.

Earlier, on March 27, the victim&rsquo;s brother, Mostafizur Rahman Bappy, filed the case over Shraban&rsquo;s death. The court later directed Mirpur police to record it as a First Information Report (FIR), naming 407 accused, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The complaint alleged that on August 5, a BNP procession in Mirpur was attacked by ruling party activists on the accused&rsquo;s instructions. The attackers reportedly fired bullets and rubber rounds and used tear gas, sound grenades and explosives, leaving Shraban fatally injured. He was declared dead after being taken to a local hospital.

                <![CDATA[Fardin, once targeted by a fascist regime and subjected to political imprisonment, has risen to international prominence as a respected figure in South Asia&rsquo;s cultural and diplomatic landscape. His journey from adversity to global recognition stands as a powerful testament to resilience and dedication.

Fardin currently holds prestigious international roles, including:
&bull; International Relations Member, Malaysia Cricket Association

&bull; International Relations Member, Singapore Cricket Council

He is actively working to strengthen cultural and developmental ties between Pakistan and Bangladesh, playing a vital role in enhancing bilateral cooperation in arts, media, and social development.

In recognition of his continued contribution to cultural relations, Grand Sylhet Hotel and Resort recently honored Fardin as a Signature Member, presenting him with an award from their Media Sales Department.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been to jail. I carry a label,&rdquo; Fardin said in a statement. &ldquo;Even after doing good work, I still face criticism and threats. But I continue to move forward. I believe that if you have strengths, you will also be judged for your flaws. That should never stop you.&rdquo;

                <![CDATA[Entertainment Desk: After being released from jail on bail, Dhallywood actress Nusraat Faria described her arrest as the &ldquo;darkest period&rdquo; of her life.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Faria, who portrayed ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina in the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman biopic &ldquo;Mujib: The Making of a Nation&rdquo;, opened up about the emotional rollercoaster she endured following her arrest, the court proceedings, and eventual release on bail.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve just gone through the most traumatic two days of my life,&rdquo; she wrote. &ldquo;I was mentally devastated. However, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who stood by me during this time.&rdquo;

Faria was released from Kashimpur Central Women&rsquo;s Jail in Gazipur on Tuesday, two days after her arrest in an attempted murder case linked to an incident during the July Uprising.

Her arrest became a hot topic on social media, with many claiming that it was linked to her role in &quot;Mujib: The Making of a Nation&quot;. Some netizens said she was being &ldquo;unjustly harassed&rdquo; under the guise of a criminal case. Even some advisors from the interim government were seen weighing in on the matter.

Expressing gratitude to those who stood by her, Faria wrote: &ldquo;From my colleagues to everyone in the industry, and the countless ordinary people who spoke out for me, for justice, and stood by my side, I will remember your support and love for the rest of my life. If it weren&rsquo;t for you, I might not have been able to return to you so soon.&rdquo;

She also extended special thanks to journalists. &ldquo;I especially want to thank members of the media. Your support meant the world to me. I will always remember your kindness toward me.&rdquo;

On May 18, Faria was stopped by Immigration Police at Dhaka&rsquo;s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport ahead of her flight to Thailand. She was later placed under arrest in the attempted murder case filed with Vatara Police Station.

An individual named Enamul Haque filed a complaint at Dhaka&#39;s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate&rsquo;s court, accusing 283 people, including actors Apu Biswas, Nipun Akhter, Ashna Habib Bhabna and Zayed Khan. The Vatara Police Station later recorded the complaint as a First Information Report (FIR) on Apr 29 on the court&rsquo;s orders.

According to the case details, during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement protests on Jul 19 last year, protesters gathered in front of Vatara Police Station. There was gunfire during the demonstration and Enamul was shot in the leg. He later received treatment at a hospital.

However, during the hearing, Faria&rsquo;s lawyer Farhan Mohammad Arav said that she was not in the country at the time of the alleged incident when the plaintiff was shot.
