A Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate court has rejected model and leadership trainer Meghna Alam’s request for the return of her passport, seized in a fraud and extortion case filed at Dhanmondi police station. Meghna, who often travels abroad for professional commitments, applied for its return, but the court denied it after Tuesday’s hearing. Her mobile and laptop are still under investigation for potential anti-state content. Previously detained under the Special Powers Act, Meghna was released on bail in April. The next case hearing is scheduled for November 11.
