Entertainment Correspondent: Popular television actress Tanjin Tisha has secured bail in a case filed against her over an alleged failure to pay for a saree. Shortly after being granted bail, the actress expressed her anger and accused the female complainant of using her husband’s influence to harass her.

Tisha appeared before Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Jewel Rana’s court in Dhaka on Thursday (August 13) and sought bail through her lawyer. After hearing the petition, the court granted her bail.

Earlier, on July 12, the same court had directed Tisha to appear in person. She complied with the order and surrendered before the court before obtaining bail.

Speaking to journalists and fans on the court premises after securing bail, Tisha said, “The person who brought this allegation against me is a woman. She used her husband’s power to do this to me, and she also threatened me in many ways. I will disclose those threats. I have a lot of information related to the matter, which I will make public at the appropriate time.”

The actress described the legal dispute over a saree worth Tk 27,000 as an attempt motivated by ulterior motives.

Expressing frustration, she said, “Today, I am being accused of misappropriating a saree worth only Tk 27,000! I have worked honestly in the entertainment industry for the past 15 years. At this stage of my long career, having to stand in court over a saree is something neither I nor any artist should have to face.”

Referring to the complainant, Tisha said, “She also has a young daughter, a family and a personal life. She is a woman herself. From that perspective, harassing another woman in this way is completely unacceptable.”

“I hope no one else is harassed in the future with such malicious intentions. We believe we will receive justice from the court,” she added.

The case was filed against Tanjin Tisha in a Dhaka court in November last year on allegations of fraud and breach of trust. The complainant alleged that Tisha took a saree without paying for it and subsequently stopped communicating.
