Tanjin Tisha sued for defamation over Facebook posts

Actress Tanjin Tisha has been sued for defamation over allegations of circulating objectionable photos and spreading false information on Facebook, following the recent saree controversy.

Fashion designer and Editor of Velvet-Youth magazine Sanaya Anam Wafika Chowdhury filed the case with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Kamal Hossain on Sunday.

The court recorded the complainant's statement and directed the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate the allegations. It also asked the investigating agency to submit its report by 21 January.

The complainant's lawyer, Shubhra Sinha Roy, confirmed the information, saying, "We had earlier sent a legal notice to Tisha on 28 October on behalf of the complainant, asking her to take corrective action. However, she did not comply, prompting us to file the case."

According to the case petition, two separate cases filed by the complainant against Tisha are currently pending before the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court and the Executive Magistrate Court.

The petition alleged that after the cases were filed, the accused, out of vengeance, started circulating objectionable photos and false information from her verified Facebook page on 27 October. She also allegedly presented misleading information about the complainant to different media outlets.

The petition further alleged that on 7 November 2025, the accused called the complainant through Facebook Messenger and threatened to make her go viral.

"Let me know when you become famous; I will upload your photos," the actress allegedly said.

According to the complaint, the accused published a photograph showing the complainant kissing a woman without her consent. She also allegedly posted photographs of two minor children.

The petition further alleged that Tisha made misleading remarks about the complainant in a Facebook post. The complainant noticed the posts at around 11:00pm on 27 October and sent a legal notice to Tisha by registered post through her lawyer the following day.

However, the accused did not remove the content within the stipulated period, the petition stated.

It further alleged that Tisha made derogatory comments, which had damaged the complainant's reputation, it added.

Earlier, on 27 November 2025, Sanaya Anam filed a case against Tisha, accusing her of fraud and criminal breach of trust.

Later, on 27 October, she filed another case, accusing Tisha of threatening her to force her to withdraw the earlier case. In that case, the court directed Tanjin Tisha to appear before it on 23 November.
