Complainant files no-confidence petition against PBI report in fraud case against Tanjin Tisha

The complainant on Thursday filed a no-confidence (Naraji) petition against a Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) report that found no truth in the allegations brought against actress Tanjin Tisha in a case filed over alleged fraud, breach of trust and threats.

Complainant Sanaya Chowdhury submitted the petition to the court of Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Sefatullah through her lawyer.

Complainant’s lawyer Shubhra Sinha Roy Rony confirmed the development and said the court set 20 October for further hearing and asked the complainant and three witnesses to appear before it on that day.

Earlier, on 27 November last year, Sanaya filed the case against Tanjin Tisha before a Dhaka court. The court took cognisance of the case and ordered the PBI to investigate the allegations.

According to the case statement, Sanaya owns a fashion house and studio in Gulshan. Tisha allegedly took a sari worth Tk75,000 from her on 13 December 2024, to wear at an event.

The case statement said Sanaya asked Tisha several times to return the sari, but she did not do so despite having agreed to return it.

Later, on 10 November, Tisha allegedly called Sanaya through Facebook Messenger and threatened to file a case against her and “humiliate her socially”. Sanaya subsequently filed a general diary with Gulshan Police Station on 12 November.

The PBI submitted its report to the court on 25 May, stating that it found no truth in the allegations against Tisha, including fraud, breach of trust and threats.

Earlier, another case was filed against Tisha for allegedly taking a sari worth around Tk28,800 from an online fashion page and failing to fulfil a promise to promote the sari and pay for it. Tisha appeared before the court and secured bail in the case on 13 August.
