Mehazabine Takes Legal Action Over 14-Bottle Liquor Allegations

Actress Mehazabine Chowdhury has recently found herself at the center of controversy following claims that 14 bottles of alcohol were found in her luggage when returning from abroad. Several reports last year suggested that she was questioned at the airport over the incident. However, Mehazabine has firmly denied all such allegations.

Although she did not hold a press conference, Mehazabine addressed the issue on social media, clearly stating her position. She also announced that she has initiated legal action against those spreading false information about her.

In a post on her verified Facebook page on Tuesday (February 24), Mehazabine wrote that the defamatory claims against her are completely baseless. She emphasized that she was never detained at the airport, nor was any of her luggage or handbag confiscated. “There is no question of any illegal items being found in my luggage,” she added.

She further criticized the spread of misleading reports, questioning whether anyone could present actual photos, videos, or evidence to support claims of her being interrogated or having illegal items discovered. She expressed concern over how defamation has become normalized, with her images being misused to generate clickbait and false news.

Mehazabine reiterated that the accusations against her have no factual basis and that she has no involvement in the reported incidents. Some reports had stated that in August last year, she was allegedly detained at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport with 14 bottles of alcohol in her luggage, accompanied by her filmmaker husband Adnan Al Rajib and director Shankha Dasgupta.
