Police in Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday detained Tran Thi Ngoc Trinh, well known as Ngoc Trinh, a 34-year-old lingerie model, and filed charges against her for allegedly causing social disorder.

Police officers also searched her house in District 7 on the same day.

Besides, police forces launched legal proceedings against Tran Xuan Dong, 36, who resides in District 4, for using counterfeit documents of authorities and organizations, and causing social disorder.

Dong is banned from leaving his residence.

Police said that officers on October 10 imposed an administrative fine on a man seen lying down on his motorcycle while riding the vehicle at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Thu Duc City in a video.

The man was identified as Dong, who trained Ngoc Trinh in how to ride a motorcycle standing on its footboards and letting go of both hands.

Previously, a one-minute video showing a woman putting both legs to one side of a motorcycle, kneeling on the saddle, and riding the vehicle with one hand went viral on social media.

Authorities in Thu Duc City under Ho Chi Minh City quickly verified the video and identified the woman as Ngoc Trinh

After being summoned to a police station, the lingerie model admitted to violating the Law on Road Traffic by driving hands-free and lying down on her motorcycle.

She was booked for covering the motorcycle’s number plate while riding it, and having no special license that allows riding a motorcycle with engines of over 175 cc.

Ngoc Trinh, whose hometown is Tra Vinh Province in the Mekong Delta region, is infamous for her sensual fashion style and is dubbed an ‘underwear queen’ in Vietnam.

She started her fashion career when she was 16, and then competed in a model contest.

She has some six million followers on her verified Facebook account.
