Choreographer Ivan lands in jail on sex trafficking charges

A Dhaka court has sent National Film Award-winning choreographer Ivan Shahriar Sohag to jail on charges of trafficking girls to Dubai.

Ivan, who was arrested from the capital’s Niketon on Friday, was produced in court on Saturday by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

CID Sub-Inspector Md Kamruzzaman moved a petition to keep the suspect in prison for the sake of the investigation, which the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yasmin Ara granted.

Ivan’s lawyer filed a bail plea, which the court is expected to hear on Sunday.
