DHAKA, April 13, 2025 (BSS) - The High Court (HC) today issued a rule, asking
authorities concerned to explain in two weeks as to why it shall not declare
her 30-day detention under the Special Powers Act, beyond legal jurisdiction.

A High Court division bench of Justice Razik-Al-Jalil and Justice Tamanna
Rahman Khalidi passed the order after holding hearing on a writ petition
filed in this connection.

Meghna's father filed the writ while Barrister Sara Hossain moved the plea
before the court.

Model Meghna Alam, winner of Miss Earth Bangladesh 2020, was arrested from
her Basundhara Residential Area flat on April 9. A Dhaka court on April 8
ordered a 30-day detention under the Special Powers Act.
