DHAKA, June 28, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today sent one Monowara Begum to 
jail after two-day remand in a case filed over her alleged attempt to 
impersonate another woman in a Taka 29 lakh cheque dishonour case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nazmin Akter passed the order as police 
produced Monowara before the court after completion of her remand and prayed 
for her detention in jail until the investigation is completed.

According to the prosecution, government employee Nibedita Ahmed Tuli filed 
the cheque dishonour case involving Taka 29 lakh on March 23, 2025. The 
accused, Nasrin Sikder, failed to appear before the fourth Joint Metropolitan 
Sessions Judge's Court on the scheduled hearing date of June 16. The court 
subsequently cancelled her bail, issued an arrest warrant and fixed August 20 
for the next hearing.

However, on June 25, defence counsel Advocate Hammad Emdad Hossain produced 
Monowara before the court, presenting her as accused Nasrin Sikder, and 
sought bail on her behalf. The court became suspicious of her identity and 
handed her over to Kotwali Police Station.

Later that night, Bench Assistant Miah Md Ibrahim Khalil Opu filed the case 
with Kotwali Police Station against Nasrin Sikder, Monowara Begum and 
Advocate Md Hammad Emdad Hossain over the alleged impersonation.
