A woman named Rehena Begum Urmi, who accused Tetulia Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Afroz Shahin Khasru of taking a bribe, has been sued under the Cyber Security Act. The case was filed on Wednesday morning at Tetulia Model Police Station by Monowar, a contractual employee of the upazila administration. The complaint names Rehena Begum Urmi as the main accused along with five or six unidentified individuals.

Earlier on Monday, Urmi alleged that the UNO had taken 180,000 taka from her in exchange for promising her son a job as a village police officer. After learning about the UNO’s transfer, she went live on Facebook to demand her money back and later submitted a written complaint to the district commissioner.

UNO Afroz Shahin Khasru denied the allegations, calling them conspiratorial and stating he did not know the woman. The additional district commissioner said a preliminary inquiry found no evidence supporting the bribery claim. Police confirmed the cyber case has been registered and that investigation and arrests are underway.
