The Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court on Sunday ordered the authorities to attach 119 more property including four apartments of the former Inspector General of Police, Benazir Ahmed, and his family members to facilitate the proper investigation into graft allegations against the former top official of Bangladesh Police.

Senior Special Judge Mohammed Ash-Shams Joglul Hossain passed the order responding to a petition submitted by Anti-Corruption Commission deputy director Hafizul Islam.


ACC public prosecutor Mahmud Hossain Jahangir told ¶¶Òõ¾«Æ· that the court ordered for attaching 119 more property of Benazir and his family members.

Earlier on Thursday, the same court ordered to freeze 33 financial accounts, including 27 bank accounts of Benazir and his family members, and it also ordered attaching the properties of the former IGP under 83 deeds in Cox’s Bazar and Gopalganj districts.

On April 18, ACC, at its commission’s meeting, decided to carry out an inquiry against Benazir for allegedly illegal wealth.

Later, a three-member inquiry team, led by its deputy director, Hafizul Islam, was also formed to carry out the inquiry into Benazir and his family members.

Newspapers and electronic media have recently reported on Benazir and his family’s alleged amassing of illegal wealth.

The reports highlighted the lavish lifestyle of the Benazir family and his holding of shares in different companies.

According to the reports, his ‘unusual assets’ did not match the legal sources of income of the former IGP,
