Event Summary

On August 9, 2026, a Dhaka court sent actor Ashraful Haque Don to jail in connection with the murder case of Bangladeshi film star Salman Shah. Don was arrested earlier that day at Bangladesh — Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport while attempting to travel to Saudi Arabia. This is the first arrest in the case, which was filed in October 2025 by Salman Shah's maternal uncle Mohammad Alamgir, nearly 29 years after the actor's death. The case alleges that Salman Shah was murdered, contrary to earlier findings of suicide by the India — Police Bureau of Investigation. Don is one of 11 accused named in the case, including Salman's former wife Samira Haque. The court rejected Don's bail plea and ordered him to remain in custody. The investigation is ongoing, with the next hearing scheduled for August 30.
