According to the case statement, Tisha received a saree worth Tk28,800 from online fashion page Aponia after promising to promote the product and pay its price. However, she later allegedly cut off communication without fulfilling either commitment.
The case was filed by Aminul Islam, administrator of the online fashion page, accusing the actress of fraud and criminal breach of trust.
At the time of filing, the court recorded the complainant's statement and directed the Detective Branch (DB) of police to investigate the allegations and submit a report.
The plaintiff's lawyer said a legal notice had been served on Tisha, but she did not respond, prompting the complainant to file the case in November 2025. Following the DB investigation, the court took cognisance of the report and issued the summons.
The lawyer also said the investigation found preliminary evidence supporting the allegations.
Tisha, however, had earlier denied the accusations in a social media post, claiming that the saree had been given to her as a gift.
