Fashion designer Sanaya Anam Wafikah Chowdhury has filed a fresh defamation case against actress Tanjin Tisha, accusing her of publishing offensive photos and misleading information about her on social media.
A Dhaka court has sent the case to the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) for inquiry.
Sanaya filed the case on Sunday at Court No. 23 of the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, presided over by Magistrate Kamal Uddin. Her lawyer, Shubhra Sinha Roy, confirmed the development to the media.
The case, registered as CR No. 1371, was filed under Sections 500 and 501 of the Penal Code, which deal with criminal defamation and printing or publishing defamatory material.
According to the complainant’s lawyer, a legal notice had previously been sent to Tisha, asking her to respond within two days to allegations of defamation, publication of objectionable photographs and cyber harassment. As no response was received within the stipulated time, Sanaya approached the court.
The legal notice alleged that on October 27, Tisha’s verified Facebook page published objectionable photographs and misleading information about Sanaya, damaging her personal dignity and professional reputation.
Sanaya also alleged that she was threatened with the publication of her photographs through Messenger and that private pictures were shared on Facebook without her consent.
This is not the first legal action taken by Sanaya against the actress. On October 26, she filed another case at a Dhaka executive magistrate court, accusing Tisha of threatening to kill her. The court subsequently issued a summons, directing the actress to appear on November 23.
Sanaya also claimed that the court had accepted her objection to a police investigation report in an earlier case and ordered further investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). She alleged that threats followed the development.
Meanwhile, Tisha is also out on bail in another case involving allegations of fraud and breach of trust.
The latest case adds to the ongoing legal disputes surrounding the actress. The allegations will be examined through the court-ordered investigation and subsequent legal proceedings.
