In recent years, Bangladesh’s geopolitical positioning has become increasingly sensitive, especially as regional rivalries and global power dynamics intersect on its soil. Amid such complexities, Dhaka now appears to have walked into a dangerous trap set by hostile forces targeting Saudi Arabia — a move that could have serious consequences for Bangladesh’s diplomatic ties and the livelihoods of millions of its citizens. The arrest of a little-known model, Meghna Alam, for allegedly blackmailing the former Saudi ambassador to Bangladesh, Issa bin Youssef Al-Duhailan, is more than just a criminal case — it reflects a deeply rooted and highly coordinated attempt to tarnish the image of Saudi royalty and destabilize relations between the two nations.

A little-known and controversial model Meghna Alam has come under the spotlight in local media and among certain international rights groups following her recent arrest in Dhaka. According to media reports, Meghna was arrested by the Detective Branch of Dhaka Police following an “informal complaint” lodged by the recently departed Saudi ambassador, Issa bin Youssef Al-Duhailan. Police informed the media that they found “prima facie evidence” against an individual named Md. Dewan Samir, who allegedly attempted to extort US$5 million from Ambassador Al-Duhailan by “entrapping him with a beautiful woman [Meghna]”. In the case filed at Dhaka city’s Vatara Police Station, 58-year-old Samir was identified as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a company called Qawali and the owner of Sanjana Manpower.

Samir has reportedly been involved in human trafficking........
