Suchitra home in Bangladesh will be a museum

DHAKA: Bangladesh’s Supreme Court on Sunday cleared hurdles to turn actress Suchitra Sen’s ancestral home in Pabna into a museum as it ordered authorities to evict a pro-Jamaat-e-Islami group from the premises.
A bench headed by Justice S K Sinha issued the order, dismissing a plea by the Jamaat-backed Imam Gazzali Institute to retain the possession of the home at Hem Sagar Lane in Pabna.
“According to the verdict, there is no hurdle in setting up an archive on Suchitra Sen and conserve her ancestral home”, additional attorney general Murad Reza said, adding that the Jamaat-backed institute must now vacate the house, so far being used as a school. Suchitra spent her childhood and teenage years here before moving to Kolkata.
