Bangladesh Bank (BB) Governor Ahsan H Mansur has called upon the people to stay aside from purchasing properties owned by S Alam Group, a Bangladeshi industrial conglomerate.

“The depositors will be refunded by selling S Alam’s assets,” Ahsan H Mansur made the call while addressing a press conference in Dhaka on Wednesday.

S.Alam Group is a Bangladeshi industrial conglomerate and it has investment in banking, leasing, insurance, stock brokering, and merchant banking.

The industries under this group include food and allied products, steel, banking, consumer products, sugar, cement, power, energy, transportation, shipping, manufacturing, hospitality, financial institution, agro, trading, oil, and gas.

The group is now under investigation by the interim government for its utter indulgence in financial crime and money laundering under the patronisation of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government.
