She was the chief editor of the daily Amader Orthoniti.

The Supreme Judicial Council submitted a report against Bhatti on Jan 10.

The notice said, “As the allegations of serious misconduct against Information Commissioner Masuda Bhatti of the Information Commission of Bangladesh have been proven before the Supreme Judicial Council, the President has removed Masuda Bhatti from her post on Jan 16 in accordance with the provisions of Article 16(6) of the Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh as amended and Section 16(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2009."
