Suchitra\\\'s home finally freed
Thursday, 17 July 2014
Bengali film legend Suchitra Sen's ancestral home in Pabna has been finally freed from the clutches of the Imam Ghazzali Institute after more than a three-decade tussle, reports bdnews24.com.
District Administration officials led by Land Officer and Executive Magistrate Shamim Ara Rini took possession of the one-storied house in the town's Gopalpur neighbourhood Wednesday afternoon.
The officials locked the two panel doors but the organisation's signboard remains fastened over the main entrance.
Authorities had earlier tried but failed to free Suchitra's home due to legal obstacles.
But the full copy of a Supreme Court (SC) verdict released on July 10 cleared all barriers.
Born in 1931, Rama Dasgupta Krishna is better known as screen goddess Suchitra Sen. She spent her childhood in the house in Pabna's Hemsagar Lane before her family moved to India during the 1947 Partition.
