A Dhaka court denied Miss Earth Bangladesh 2020 Meghna Alam's request to reclaim her passport on Tuesday in a fraud and extortion case. Metropolitan Magistrate Arifur Rahman dismissed the petition after her lawyers argued she needed travel documents for human rights work and promised she would not flee. Meghma Alam wept outside the court and told reporters that prosecutors were making false claims to publicly humiliate her.
Authorities arrested the model on April 9 at her Vatara apartment and detained her for 30 days under the Special Powers Act. Police accuse her and CEO Dewan Samir of running a scheme that used women to trap diplomats and businessmen in compromising situations before demanding money. A judge granted bail on April 28, and she was released from jail the following day.
