DHAKA, Oct 19, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today ordered authorities concerned 
to identify and take legal action against online groups, their administrators 
and fraudulent networks involved in the circulation of pornography and 
illegal financial transactions.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Zakir Hossain passed the order 
suo moto and asked to file regular case in this connection.

The court came up with the order as a news report titled "Thousands of young 
women's nude videos sold on Telegram" was published by a media outlet on 
October 18. The report was also carried by several online news portals and 
widely shared and discussed on social media platforms.

Considering the matter of public importance, the court took cognizance of the 
report under Section 190(1) (c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and 
accepted it for judicial consideration, the court said in its order.

The court directed the Deputy Commissioner of the Cyber and Special Crime 
Division of the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) to 
appoint a competent and skilled investigation officer to identify the online 
pornography-related groups, their administrators, and fraudulent networks 
involved in financial transactions, and to take appropriate legal action 
against them based on the information mentioned in the report.

The court also instructed that regular cases be filed in light of the 
findings revealed during the investigation and ordered the investigating 
officer to submit a progress report every 15 days.
