The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has requested complete details of all bank accounts held by controversial model Meghna Alam. On Monday (April 21), letters were sent to all banks seeking this information.
According to the BFIU letter, banks have been asked to submit documents such as account opening forms, Know Your Customer (KYC) details, and transaction statements. The requested information must be provided within seven working days from the date of the letter.
Meghna Alam was detained on the night of April 9 by the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) from her residence in Bashundhara, Dhaka.
On April 15, Inspector (Investigation) Md Abdul Alim of Dhanmondi Model Police Station filed a case against Meghna, Dewan Samir, and two to three unidentified individuals, accusing them of extortion and fraud.
The case alleges that Meghna Alam, along with the other accused, demanded five million US dollars (around BDT 60 crore) from a diplomat. However, the diplomat's name was not disclosed in the case statement.
