A Dhaka court has directed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to conduct a further investigation into a high-profile case filed against popular television actress Tazin Tisha, involving allegations of misappropriating a 75,000 Taka sari, breach of trust, and issuing threats. The order was issued by Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Joshita Islam after accepting a petition filed by the plaintiff expressing no-confidence in the final report previously submitted by the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI). The court has instructed the CID to submit its comprehensive investigation report by December 31.
According to the case records, fashion designer Ayesha Anum Fayzah Sanaya Chowdhury filed the lawsuit in the Dhaka court on November 27, 2025. The plaintiff stated in the complaint that she operates a fashion house and studio located on Road 127 in the capital's upscale Gulshan area. On December 13, 2024, actress Tazin Tisha took a premium sari valued at 75,000 Taka from her studio to wear at a special event. As per the mutual understanding, the actress was supposed to return the attire to the studio the very next day, December 14, but failed to do so.
The complaint further details that when the designer contacted Tisha multiple times to retrieve the garment, the actress allegedly started making excuses. On December 15, 2024, Sanaya sent a message to Tisha via Facebook Messenger requesting the return of the sari. However, instead of returning the item, the actress allegedly became infuriated and issued threats to the designer, leading to the formal legal action for breach of trust and intimidation. Following the initial filing, the court had tasked the PBI with investigating the matter.
After completing their preliminary inquiry, PBI Sub-Inspector Md. Jahangir Alam submitted a final report to the court on May 25, stating that they found no concrete evidence supporting the allegations against Tazin Tisha and recommended her exoneration from the case. Dissatisfied with the PBI's findings, the plaintiff's legal counsel submitted a formal no-confidence petition. Plaintiff's lawyer Shubhra Sinha stated that the court, after reviewing arguments and witness testimonies, rejected the PBI report and ordered a fresh, thorough investigation by the CID to ensure justice.
This legal development has drawn significant attention within the country's entertainment industry, highlighting the professional and legal boundaries governing commercial endorsements and designer-celebrity interactions. Legal experts note that court-ordered reinvestigations by specialized agencies like the CID are critical when plaintiffs challenge initial police findings. All eyes are now set on the upcoming December 31 deadline, when the CID is expected to place its definitive investigation report before the court, which will shape the subsequent trajectory of the legal proceedings.
