The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to launch an inquiry into allegations of amassing illegal wealth and abnormal bank transactions worth Tk134 crore against journalist and television presenter Munni Saha and her husband Kabir Hossain Tapas.

Briefing reporters at the commission's headquarters in the capital today, ACC Director General (Prevention) Md Akhtar Hossain said the inquiry was initiated following allegations of bank transactions totalling Tk134 crore, with a remaining balance of Tk14 crore, and asset acquisition beyond known income sources by Munni and her husband Kabir, the proprietor of the advertising agency MS Promotional.

In October 2024, the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) asked banks to provide Munni Saha's account details – deposits, loans, credit cards, foreign trade, money exchange, lockers, and offshore banking.

Munni, who was the chief executive editor of ATN News from 2016 till her resignation in 2023, was reportedly confronted by locals as she exited the Vision 2021 Tower of the ICT Department in Kawran Bazar, Dhaka on 30 November. 

Police intervened upon receiving information, rescuing and escorting her to Tejgaon Police Station.
