Police have arrested TikTok content creator Toha Hossain for allegedly promoting gambling platforms through social media.

The accused in the case are Toha Hossain, 22, and his wife Hur-e-Jannat, 19. Both are known for creating content on TikTok.

Toha was detained near Gate No. 2 of the National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur-2 around 10:30 pm on Sunday (April 13), according to police.

A case was filed under the Cyber Security Act at Mirpur Model Police Station on Monday (April 14) by Md Rifatul Haque Shaon.
