DHAKA, April 11, 2025 (BSS) - The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) in a statement today said that Meghna Alam, model and winner of the Miss Earth Bangladesh 2020, was taken into safe custody following due legal procedures. 

"Following legal procedures, Meghna Alam has been taken to safe custody on charges of disrupting state security, attempting to deteriorate inter-state relations by spreading false information about important individuals, and conspiring to harm the country economically," the statement said.

"The accusation of kidnapping Meghna Alam is not true. Nevertheless, she has the right to seek legal recourse," said the statement issued by Muhammad Talebur Rahman, DMP deputy commissioner (media and public relations) of the DB.
