Meherun Sara Mansur. This woman, who is introduced as an investor in Dubai and lives a luxurious life, is the daughter of Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H. Mansur. The price of a necklace of Meherun Sara is 50 thousand US dollars which is Tk. 61 lakh 50 thousand in Bangladeshi. The price of a bag of hers is 10 thousand US dollars which is Tk. 12 lakh 30 thousand in Bangladeshi. She has a luxurious flat in the United Arab Emirates. She has expensive cars. A four-story house made of glass and steel in Washington DC. She has investments in Dubai, London and the United States.
Meherun likes to introduce herself as an investor. She also introduces herself as a fashion designer, a hotelier. But the question is, where is the legal source of all this investment, luxurious life, so much wealth - all this money?
International Policy Digest has published a report on Meherun Sara Mansur's luxurious life, her investments and businesses. This information has emerged in an investigative report by the newspaper's journalist Tim Larkin. The report was published on January 31. In addition, a media outlet called SSTV. Press also published a report on Meherun Sara's luxurious life.
A recent investigation by the International Policy Digest newspaper said that the list of owners of secret assets in Dubai that was published in the media left out the names of several important Bangladeshi business entrepreneurs. Meherun Sara Mansur is one of them. Incidentally, according to the news of a leading daily in the country, 461 Bangladeshis, including ministers-MPs and beneficiaries of the Awami League government, have secret assets in Dubai.
Let's take a look at Meherun Sara Mansur's luxurious life. You will find many impressive pictures of her sunbathing on the beach on her social media account. Starting from clothes, everything has a touch of modernity. You will also find various pictures of her unaccountable lifestyle. However, her father has positioned himself in a position where he has declared a 'crusade' against corruption and unaccounted spending.
Bangladesh's economy is currently going through a difficult time. Inflation is rising. Interest rates are also on the rise, above 12 percent. The people of Bangladesh are trying to survive in this difficult situation. However, one question may quickly arise among them. That is, how is Ahsan H. Mansur's daughter living such a luxurious life abroad in this difficult situation where the country's economy is facing severe challenges? Another question may arise, how does Ahsan H. Mansur keep herself comfortable in a four-story 'frame house' of glass and steel in Washington, while others have to struggle to survive?
Investigations have shown that Meherun Sara Mansur has been accustomed to a luxurious life since childhood. She studied in an elite area near Washington. She studied in a Catholic school. She has been accustomed to traveling since childhood. She once appeared on the cover of a magazine. She is trying desperately to portray herself as an elite class. Despite having no visible source of legal income, she continues to live a luxurious life.
Meherun made several attempts to establish herself as an entrepreneur early in her life. She tried to become a blogger, fashion designer, jewelry merchant, or whatever. Before the age of 20, she also tried to establish herself as a restaurant owner in Dhaka. She wanted to provide food for everyone at a low price. On September 24, 2020, the Narcotics Control Department conducted a raid at the Horse and Horse restaurant in Gulshan and seized a large amount of foreign liquor. Ahsan H. Mansur spoke out on behalf of her daughter immediately after that raid. It is alleged that Ahsan H. Mansur, with his 'clean image', excluded her daughter from the case by using the influence of the then intelligence agency.
Meherun Sara Mansur now lives in Dubai. There is a touch of wealth and glamour in every aspect of her life. She is often seen at various fashion shows. She drives expensive cars. She wears watches worth thousands of pounds. Most of these are gifts from her father. Although she presents herself as an entrepreneur, she has not given any information on her profile about what business she actually does.
One of Mehrun's initiatives was the 'Watchers Foundation'. This foundation used to provide food, education and treatment to underprivileged children. But recently, no activities of this foundation are visible. Its Facebook page has also been inactive since 2023. Its website says 'to be inaugurated soon'. She has removed herself from the foundation since May 2021.
In the investigative report, Tim Larkin also said that the Daily Star newspaper reports on the luxurious lifestyle of many people. But the newspaper did not report on the luxurious life of Mehrun Sara Mansur in the international arena. Perhaps the interim government has intervened in this matter. However, one thing may be questionable in the eyes of many that on the one hand, the girl is living a luxurious life abroad, and her father, becoming the country's top banker, has raised the interest rate to over 12 percent. He has brought inflation to double digits.
