A formal case has been filed against television actor Jaher Alvi and the mother of the deceased, Nasrin Sultana Shiuli, in connection with the death of his wife, Afra Evnath Khan Ikra. The case was lodged today, Sunday, at Paltoli Police Station in Dhaka. The complainant is Ikra’s maternal uncle, Sheikh Tanvir Ahmed, who confirmed the filing to our representative.
The case alleges that Jaher Alvi and Nasrin Sultana incited Ikra to commit suicide and subjected her to neglect and abuse over the past two years. Sheikh Tanvir stated that the couple’s long-standing marital discord, including Alvi’s extramarital affairs and inhumane treatment, contributed to Ikra’s deteriorating mental state.
Paltoli Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge, AKM Alamgir Jahan, said, “The case has been officially registered, and investigations are ongoing. Efforts are underway to apprehend the accused. A copy of the charge sheet has been sent to the immigration authorities at the airport. Since the accused is currently abroad, this will ensure his swift arrest upon arrival in Bangladesh.”
Social media has been abuzz following the tragic incident, particularly after the leak of Ikra’s private chat messages. The revelations have sparked widespread discussion and speculation, highlighting the pressures she faced in her personal life. Alvi and Ikra had secretly married on 9 November 2010, and the couple shared a son, Rizik.
Sheikh Tanvir confirmed that Ikra’s post-mortem examination was completed this morning. Subsequently, her body was transported to her ancestral home in Dhitpur Union, Bhaluka, Mymensingh, where she was laid to rest in a family ceremony.
Family members allege that Ikra’s decision to take her own life was influenced by Alvi’s extramarital relationship with a fellow actress. Ikra’s mother, Rebeca Sultana, and other relatives, as well as close friends, insist that the emotional and psychological distress inflicted by Alvi played a central role. Her friend, Samia Alam, remarked, “Ikra was not the type to commit suicide. It is crucial to understand the extent of suffering Alvi caused her that drove her to such despair.”
