On January 22, 2017 police raided Sunny's home in the Dhaka suburb of Aminbazar after his longtime girlfriend filed a complaint.
"She said Sunny opened up a fake Facebook account of hers and posted their personal photos, which she found offensive and defamatory," local police chief Jamaluddin Mir told AFP.
"We have arrested him and sent him to the court, seeking to take him into custody for five days for questioning."
Sunny could face up to 14 years in jail or a fine of 10 million taka ($126,340).
Dowry demand
Sunny along with his mother was under investigation for demanding dowry from a woman, claiming to be his wife. The international player has been charged under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act. A court ordered them to be put in jail on 13 February 2017
