Legal notice served on Tanjin Tisha over unauthorised photo use, false Facebook posts

Actress Tanjin Tisha has been served a legal notice over allegations of publishing photographs without permission and spreading false information on social media.

Lawyer Shubhra Sinha Roy served the notice on Tisha on Wednesday on behalf of fashion designer and Velmet-Youth Magazine editor Sanaya Anam Wafiqah Chowdhury, demanding that all photographs and posts related to his client be removed from Tisha’s verified Facebook page within two days of receiving the notice.

According to the notice, Sanaya has filed two separate cases against Tisha with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court in Dhaka and the Executive Magistrate Court. Both cases are currently pending, it said.

The notice alleges that Tisha published objectionable photographs and misleading information about Sanaya on her verified Facebook page on 27 October 2026, misrepresenting the media.

It further claims that Tisha threatened Sanaya through Facebook Messenger on 7 November 2025, saying, “When you become famous, let me know; I will upload your photos.” The notice alleges that Tisha subsequently uploaded Sanaya’s photographs to Facebook, damaging her reputation.

Referring to a post by Tisha, the notice also alleges that she portrayed Sanaya and another woman as sisters, although they are not related as siblings. It states that Sanaya is a fashion designer, while the other woman is an entrepreneur, and alleges that their acquaintance has been portrayed negatively, harming Sanaya’s reputation.

The notice also raises objections to the publication of photographs of two minors, alleging that their consent was not obtained. It further claims that photographs of Sanaya were published without her permission, in violation of the Cyber Security Act, 2026.

The notice demands that Tisha remove all photographs and posts concerning Sanaya from her verified Facebook page within two days of receiving it and refrain from publishing any of her photographs in the future.

Failure to comply would compel Sanaya to seek legal remedies, including claiming monetary damages for defamation and initiating proceedings before the Cyber Tribunal or other competent courts, the notice said.

Earlier, Tanjin Tisha made a Facebook post on Tuesday, raising questions over what she described as a large-scale conspiracy to destroy a person’s years of reputation, career and achievements.

“Such a huge conspiracy? Such an extensive and despicable attempt to destroy a person’s years of reputation, career and achievements? Why? For what reason? And who is behind it?” she wrote.

Adding some photos in the post, she further questioned why the two women had been linked, asking why the two “sisters” had joined forces out of hatred. She also claimed that she had never seen one of them before the case.

“Taking a recorded statement, cutting out parts to suit one’s own interests, changing the meaning of the original words and presenting a completely different story. Then spreading it on social media to damage someone’s reputation,” she added.

Tisha said she had answers to many questions and possessed evidence to support her claims. However, she questioned who would present the truth and evidence before the public — the court or responsible journalism.

“Will the false and fabricated stories spread with the intention of destroying a person ultimately be the ones that get publicised? How will I get justice, and how will it be delivered?” she asked.

Questioning whether truth and falsehood would be decided by news portal headlines rather than the court, Tisha asked, “Are legal cases really that simple? Does making an allegation automatically make it true? Can a person’s reputation be damaged by repeatedly spreading allegations against them on social media?”

She also questioned whether the public could understand what was happening, writing, “Where is the public’s sense of judgement now? Can nobody understand anything?”

On 27 October, a Dhaka court summoned Tanjin Tisha in a fresh case filed over allegations that she threatened a fashion designer to force her to withdraw a case involving a saree worth Tk75,000.

Fashion designer and Velmet-Youth Magazine editor Sanaya Anam Wafiqah Chowdhury filed the complaint before Dhaka Executive Magistrate Md Mahbub-ul-Alam, said the complainant’s lawyer, Shuvro Sinha Rony.

After recording the complainant’s statement, the court took cognisance of the allegations and directed Tisha to appear before it on 23 November to show cause.
