Bangladeshi model Meghna Alam arrested after claiming affair with married diplomat
In a shocking turn of events, Bangladeshi model-actress Meghna Alam was arrested under the Special Powers Act for allegedly posing a threat to public safety, law and order. This came after she claimed she had an affair with a married diplomat who is trying to silence her with the help of law enforcement agencies.
According to reports, the 30-year-old model was arrested from her residence in Dhaka on Friday evening. Her father, Abdur Razzaque, claimed that Meghna was in a relationship with the then Saudi ambassador to Dhaka, Khalid bin Faisal Al Saud, who is currently the ambassador to the United States.
Meghna, who has worked in several Bangladeshi films and TV dramas, had made the shocking allegations on social media, claiming that the diplomat was trying to silence her. She alleged that he had threatened her and her family after she refused to end the relationship.
In a series of Facebook posts, Meghna claimed that she had been in a relationship with the diplomat for several years and had even given birth to a child from the relationship. She alleged that the diplomat had promised to divorce his wife and marry her, but later reneged on his promise.
Meghna also claimed that the diplomat had used his influence to get her arrested and silence her. She alleged that the law enforcement agencies were working hand-in-hand with the diplomat to intimidate her and her family.
“I have been in a relationship with the Saudi ambassador to Dhaka for several years. He promised to divorce his wife and marry me, but he later reneged on his promise,” Meghna wrote on Facebook. “He has been threatening me and my family, and has even used his influence to get me arrested.”
The model’s father, Abdur Razzaque, corroborated his daughter’s allegations, saying that she had been in a relationship with the diplomat for several years. “Meghna has been involved with the Saudi ambassador for a long time. We were aware of the relationship, but we never thought it would lead to such consequences,” he said.
The arrest of Meghna Alam has sparked outrage on social media, with many people expressing their support for the model. Several celebrities and influencers have come out in support of Meghna, calling for her release and urging the authorities to investigate the allegations.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of law enforcement agencies in Bangladesh. Many people are questioning why the model was arrested under the Special Powers Act, which is typically used to arrest individuals who pose a threat to national security.
“This is a clear case of misuse of power. The authorities are trying to silence Meghna Alam by arresting her under the Special Powers Act,” said a human rights activist. “We demand that the authorities investigate the allegations and release Meghna Alam immediately.”
The incident has also sparked a debate about the status of women in Bangladesh. Many people are questioning why the model was arrested for making allegations of adultery, rather than the diplomat who allegedly committed the crime.
“This is a clear case of sexism. The authorities are trying to silence Meghna Alam because she is a woman and because she is making allegations against a powerful diplomat,” said a feminist activist. “We demand that the authorities take action against the diplomat and ensure that Meghna Alam is protected from further harassment.”
As the situation continues to unfold, many people are left wondering what will happen to Meghna Alam and whether she will be able to seek justice for the alleged crimes committed against her.
