Md Dewan Samir, owner of Sanjana Manpower and an associate of model Meghna Alam, has been placed on a fresh four-day remand in connection with a high-profile case involving fraud and extortion.
On Tuesday, the accused was produced before the court by the investigation officer, Detective Branch Inspector Akhtar Morshed, who sought a seven-day remand to further probe the case, reports media.
Public Prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruki argued in support of the remand on behalf of the state, while the defence appealed for bail and opposed further custody.
Following the hearing from both sides, the court granted a four-day remand.
The case centres on allegations of leveraging attractive women to entrap foreign diplomats and wealthy businessmen in romantic affairs to blackmail them for money.
This marks Samir’s second remand in the case. Earlier, on April 17, the court had approved a five-day remand.
According to the case documents, Meghna Alam, Dewan Samir, and two to three unidentified individuals are part of an organized fraud ring. The syndicate allegedly used attractive women to lure diplomats and affluent individuals into romantic and illicit relationships. The victims were then blackmailed with threats of reputational damage.
