In February 2007, Bangladesh Army-led forces detained 14 Bangladesh Nationalist Party politicians, including Munshi, for their alleged links with crime and corruption. In October, a special court sentenced Munshi to 13 years in jail for acquiring wealth illegally and concealing information on his property. He was released in November 2008 on a High Court bail from the Dhaka Central Jail.

Nomination Cancellation Controversy In the 2026 Bangladeshi general election, Manjurul Ahsan Munshi received the nomination of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party for the Comilla-4 constituency. During the preliminary scrutiny, the concerned Returning Officer declared his nomination valid, however, rival candidate Hasnat Abdullah appealed to the Election Commission, alleging that Munshi had concealed information regarding loan default. Following the hearing, the Commission declared Munshi’s nomination invalid.

Munshi challenged the decision by filing writ petitions with the High Court Division and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh; however, both petitions were dismissed, rendering him ineligible to contest the election from the Comilla-4 constituency.

Expulsion from BNP In February 2026, Munshi was expelled from the BNP after a video circulated in which he was heard threatening voters during the campaign for the 2026 Bangladeshi general election. The party stated that his remarks and actions were "against party policy, ideals, and organization."
