No bar to release Model Meghna Alam 

There is no bar for Model Meghna Alam to get released as a Dhaka court has allowed bail to her in a case lodged with the city's Dhanmandi Police Station over fraud and extortion.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sanaullah passed the order on Monday 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 Alam, winner of Miss Earth Bangladesh 2020, 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.
