DHAKA, April 28, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today allowed bail to Meghna Alam,
winner of Miss Earth Bangladesh 2020, in a case lodged with the city's
Dhanmandi Police Station over fraud and extortion.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sanaullah passed the order after
holding hearing on a plea for bail filed for the accused.

Earlier on April 17, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Masum Miah
showed her arrested in the case over fraud with a foreign diplomat by luring
him into a honeytrap.

Meghna was arrested from her Bashundhara Residential Area flat on April 9.
She was subsequently placed under a 30-day detention order, under the Special
Powers Act.

The High Court, however, on April 13 issued a rule, asking the relevant
authorities to explain within two weeks why her 30-day detention under the
Special Powers Act should not be declared beyond legal jurisdiction.

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