ACC to file two cases against Benazir, his wife and daughters
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed, his wife and two daughters. The agency is preparing the case on the basis of the evidence found in the investigation of their illegal wealth.
Confirming the matter, a reliable source of ACC said that the ACC summoned Benazir on Thursday (June 6). His wife Zeeshan Mirza, eldest daughter Farheen Rishta bint Benazir and younger daughter Tahsin Raisa bint Benazir have been summoned on June 9.
Sources said that the former IGP fled the country with his wife and daughters. In this situation, the ACC will file two cases.
According to sources, a case will be filed against Benazir and her family on charges of acquiring illegal wealth. The ACC will also file another 'non-submission' case. If found guilty of amassing wealth beyond known sources of income, the punishment is 10 years in jail. In addition, Benazir and his wife and daughters could be sentenced to three years more in the non-submission case.
On condition of anonymity, an ACC official said notices will be sent to Benazir and her family members soon seeking their account of assets. If no one is found to receive the notice, it will be hung on the wall of the house. However, according to the news, it is believed that Benazir Ahmed will not be able to receive the notice as she has left the country with her family. In this case, there will be a 'non-submission' case.
In March, a national daily published a report accusing former IGP and Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Benazir Ahmed of amassing huge wealth. Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman, MP of Habiganj-4 (Madhabpur-Chunarughat) constituency, appealed to the ACC chairman to investigate the matter.
