The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has discovered Tk 134 crore in a bank account tied to journalist Munni Saha. The account, opened in 2017 at One Bank’s Karwan Bazar branch, is registered under her advertising firm, M/S Promotions. Of the total amount, Tk 120 crore has been withdrawn, while Tk 14 crore remains frozen.
Investigators found unusual transactions between M/S Promotions and another company, M/S Prime Traders, even though they have no apparent business relationship. Munni Saha and her husband, Kabir Hussain Taposh, are listed as the account’s beneficiaries.
The account also had a loan renewed by One Bank, despite the firm failing to make payments. Efforts to contact Saha for her response were unsuccessful. She has previously been accused of involvement in the anti-discrimination student movement.
Authorities are now looking into the possibility of fund misuse and the links between the parties involved.
