Tanjin Tisha gets bail in saree fraud case

Actress Tanjin Tisha secured bail after surrendering before a Dhaka court on Tuesday, September 29, in a case alleging fraud and breach of trust over a saree worth 28,800 taka, while the hearing on framing charges was deferred.

Tisha surrendered before Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Kamal Uddin’s court at around noon and sought bail. Following a hearing, the court granted her bail and deferred the scheduled hearing on framing charges.

Speaking to journalists outside the court, Tisha said she had been accused of misappropriating a saree worth 28,800 taka.

“I have a 15-year career. It is not desirable for anyone to come to court over a saree. I came because I respect the law,” she said.

Tisha denied the allegations, saying she had neither misappropriated the saree nor committed fraud.

“I did not misappropriate the saree or commit any fraud,” she said.

According to Tisha, the saree had been given to her as a gift.

“She gave me the saree saying it was a gift. I said I would wear it, take pictures and post them. I may have forgotten,” she said.

Tisha also alleged that the complainant had used her husband’s influence to file the case against her. She further claimed that she had received various threats.

The case stems from allegations that Tisha took a saree worth 28,800 taka from online fashion page Aponia after promising to promote it and pay for it, but later stopped communicating with the page. Aponia administrator Aminul Islam filed the case in 2025, accusing her of fraud and breach of trust.

Following the filing of the case, the court recorded the complainant’s statement and directed the Detective Branch (DB) of police to investigate the allegations and submit a report.

After completing the investigation, the DB submitted a report stating that it had found preliminary evidence supporting the allegations against Tisha. The court later took cognisance of the report and issued a summons directing her to appear.

Tisha had previously surrendered before Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Jewel Rana’s court on August 13 and secured bail. Her lawyer, Nihar Hossain Faruk, had sought bail on her behalf.

Before that, on July 12, the court took cognisance of the DB investigation report and issued the summons requiring Tisha to appear.

The case will now proceed with the hearing on framing charges deferred.
