Model Meghna Alam has been officially shown as arrested in a fraud case filed at Dhaka's Dhanmondi Police Station. The case alleges that attractive women were used to entrap foreign diplomats in romantic schemes.
On Thursday morning, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Masum Mia granted the request to show her arrest after she was presented before the court. The investigating officer submitted the application, which was supported by the public prosecutor of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court.
Meghna Alam was initially detained on the night of April 9 by the Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police from her residence in Bashundhara. The following night, on April 10, a court ordered her detention for 30 days under the Special Powers Act, based on a Ministry of Home Affairs directive.
Her arrest, without a clear explanation then, triggered widespread public debate and criticism.
