‘I’ve never been with anyone!’ Model Meghna’s steamy courtroom drama

In a courtroom scene ripped straight from a steamy political thriller, controversial model and self-proclaimed “leadership trainer” Meghna Alam made a dramatic appearance at the Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court in Dhaka. With Quran in hand and she delivered a bombshell: “I have never had physical relations with any man. Except for the Saudi Ambassador. And even with him… nothing happened.”

The confession, or rather, the non-confession, came during a hearing on Sunday, August 31, over the return of her seized passport, iPhone 16 Pro, MacBook, and two mobile phones, as part of a high-profile case involving fraud, extortion, and an alleged honeytrap ring targeting foreign diplomats.

Presiding over the case, Magistrate MA Azharul Islam, must have thought he was judging a civil dispute, instead, he got prime-time drama.

Clutching the holy book, Meghna, dressed in a crisp white sari inscribing Bengali alphabets, declared: “I have never had physical relations with anyone, not even with Ambassador Isa.”

She paused for effect.

“Any attempt to portray me as immoral or lustful must stop immediately.”

Cue gasps. Cue whispers. Cue social media melting down.

Because let’s be real, when you name-drop a Saudi ambassador in a fraud case involving “beautiful girls” and “foreign dignitaries,” the plot only goes one way: James Bond meets K-Street Glamour meets 

The allegations are straight out of a spy novel.

According to the Dhanmondi Police case filed in April, Meghna Alam, along with Dewan Sameer, CEO of Kawai Group and owner of Sanjana International, a manpower agency, ran an organised honeytrap ring.

Their alleged MO? Recruit stunning, charismatic women (brand ambassadors, they called them), get close to foreign diplomats and wealthy businessmen, build “relationships,” and then extort money by threatening to expose the affairs.

Dewan Sameer, once the king of Dhaka’s glitzy event circuit (former head of MIRIi International Event Management Ltd), reportedly used his network to gain access to elite circles, all under the guise of corporate events and cultural showcases.

But the real event? Allegedly, blackmail.

Meghna wasn’t spared. On 10 April, she was sent to jail under the Special Powers Act. After 18 days, she was granted bail and walked free on 29 April, but not before the state seized her digital life: passport, laptop, iPhone, and all.

Now, her lawyers, Mohsin Reza Palash and Mahima Badhon, are fighting to get her gear back, arguing she needs her passport for international leadership training events.

But here’s the twist: no one can unlock her devices.

The forensic team told the court they couldn’t examine her laptop and phone because Meghna hadn’t provided the password.

To which Meghna calmly replied: “We can give the password now. They never asked.”

Silence in the courtroom.

The magistrate, perhaps sensing the absurdity, ordered the forensic report to be submitted by September 30, with or without divine intervention.

Outside the courthouse, crowds gathered. Reporters jostled. 

Supporters call her a scapegoat, a woman punished for navigating a world where beauty and ambition are criminalised. Critics call her a con artist who weaponised charm.

But one thing is clear: Meghna Alam knows how to command a room, even if it’s a courtroom.

As her lawyer Mohsin Reza Palash put it: “She’s a leadership trainer, not a femme fatale. She travels for seminars, not seduction.”

Whether the court believes in divine truth or digital evidence, the world will be watching.

One thing’s for sure, when the forensic report drops on 30 September, someone’s going to be exposed.
