Cops have accused the creator’s father Md Abu Sayeed of allegedly knowing and consenting to his daughter’s activities.
He has also been accused of accepting money earned from the alleged operation.
The influencer was arrested on 11 Aug, as reported by Need To Know.
During a raid in Bashundhara, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Sayeed gave up information about her lover.
Faruk was then arrested near Dhaka Popular Travels in Badda, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Investigators reportedly first detected explicit content and adverts on Sayeed’s social media on 10 Aug.
Cops claim that the content was flogged through mobile finance services – with a ‘lifetime package’ selling for £21.19 (Tk 3,500).
Two smartphones were seized by the police during the raid for evidence.
Preliminary questioning also led investigators to suspect that the influencer was operating the alleged business with a number of associates.
The case has been filed at the Ramna Model Police Station under the 2012 Pornography Control Act.
Cops have sought a three-day remand for the arrested suspects – to allow them to investigate the operation and identify others involved.
The police are now looking to obtain the password to the Instagram account allegedly involved in the operation.
Sayeed boasted a huge online following with over 73,000 followers on her Instagram and over 10,000 on TikTok.
