As the news of Sayem’s extramarital affair leaked to her family, her mother summoned Munia through another woman named Piasa and threatened Munia and asked her to leave Dhaka.
Under such circumstances, assuring that he would marry her, Sayem quickly sent Munia back to her family in Comilla.
Later, Sayem convinced Munia to return to Dhaka and put her up in a chic rented apartment in the Gulshan district on March 1, 2021. This time, Gulshan’s house was rented by Munia’s older sister, although the family does not have the financial capacity to pay the rent for such an apartment.
According to the case statement, Munia had an argument with Sayem again after photos of an iftar party she attended with the owner’s family were shared on social media by the owner’s wife on the 23rd. April. Sayem expressed concern that Piasa, a Facebook friend of the owner’s wife, would inform her mother of recent developments, according to the case statement.

Complainant Nusrat, in a case statement, said her sister told her the accused would marry her and live abroad. Especially since if they stayed in Bangladesh, Sayem’s parents would kill Munia, even if they did nothing with their son.
Dhaka Tribune claims to have obtained an unverified audio chat from Sayem and Munia where a male voice is heard accusing the woman of stealing 5 million BDT. The female was heard crying and repeatedly denying the threat allegation, while the male voice repeatedly cursed and used profanity.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner, Gulshan Division Sudip Kumar Chakraborty said: “Munia informed her older sister on Sunday that she was in trouble. Hearing this, Nusrat came from Comilla to Dhaka on Monday and rushed to her house in the evening.
