Four years after a Bangladeshi Hindu girl named Tithy Sarkar was accused of insulting Prophet Muhammad and committing ‘blasphemy’ on social media, a court in
Dhaka sentenced her to 5 years in prison.
The disturbing verdict was announced on Monday (13th May) by Justice AM Zulfikar Hayat of the
Dhaka Cyber Tribunal under the Digital Security Act (DSA). He also sentenced Tithy Sarkar to 1 year of probation on eight conditions.
Tithy Sarkar was directed to appear before law enforcement authorities when summoned by them during her probation period.
According to Bench Assistant Jewel Miha, a probation officer would monitor the activities of the Hindu woman. The verdict against her may be re-considered if the said probation officer gave a satisfactory report.

A former student of Jagannath University, Tithy Sarkar was booked by the police on 2nd November 2020. She was also the convenor of World Hindu Struggle Council and office secretary of the Students Protection Council of Jagannath University.
OpIndia reported in 2020 that the Hindu woman had gone missing after being accused of ‘hurting religious sentiments.’ Islamists had alleged that Sarkar made derogatory remarks against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
Tithy Sarkar met the officials at the
Pallabi police station and filed a complaint about her Facebook account being hacked. She had made it clear to the police that the alleged ‘blasphemous comments were’ made by an unidentified hacker using her Facebook handle.
The development was confirmed by Kazi Wazed Ali, the station-in-charge of the
Pallabi police station. After filing the police complaint, the Hindu woman went missing and her phone remained untraceable.
