Husband had affair with Mita’s close friends

Actress Mita Noor’s husband was involved in extra-marital affairs with two of her close friends. A devoted wife, Mita could not meekly accept this situation and thus had to endure physical abuse many times. Even after all this, Mita wanted to keep her family together. But at last she was forced to take her own life to protect her self-respect. The information was given by some of Mita’s close friends.

Meanwhile, Shahnoor Rahman Rana claimed his relationship with his wife was excellent. Mita loved him very much. He never even imagined Mita could leave him like this. He also denied having any affair with anyone close to Mita.

One of Mita’s close friends said Mita often complained to her about suffering physical violence for protesting her husband’s extra-marital affairs. She was involved with a charity named Manab Kalyan Society for two years. Two years ago Mita Noor lodged a police complaint against her husband. That time Rana avoided jail by apologizing to Mita and promising to mend his ways. But within a few months he resumed his extra-marital affairs. He used to get drunk and beat Mita up at home.

Mita often called her friends and asked them to visit her at home. She made one such request last Saturday.

Another friend said Mita was a wonderful woman. On January 5 Mita Noor appeared in a television programme titled ‘Controlling adulterated food and media’s role’. At one point during the programme Mita Noor fell ill. The friend said she was taken ill because of the beating and torture she had endured from her husband the previous night.

Mita’s close friends and relatives said she was forced to commit suicide. Once she had decided to get separated from her husband but later changed her decision at her elder son’s request.

Last Tuesday a memorial service was held at Manab Kalyan Society’s Motijheel office. Executive Magistrate Rokon-Ud-Dowla, who is also an adviser to the Society, spoke at the service along with other members of the Society. They also asked the authorities to investigate whether Mita Noor was incited to commit suicide and bring the inciter to justice.
