Model Meghna Alam yesterday told a Dhaka court that she was sent to jail without trial.
In the wake of public outrage, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul yesterday said the way model Meghna Alam was detained was not right.

Model and Miss Bangladesh Foundation Chairperson Meghna Alam was detained and sent to jail for 30 days under the Special Powers Act of 1974 following a late-night court hearing on Thursday, drawing widespread criticism over the use of what many say is a draconian law.
