Bangladesh has instructed its legal counsel in the United Arab Emirates to challenge the conditional bail granted to former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed, citing concerns that he may possess passports from multiple nations, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed disclosed on Monday.

Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said, “We have instructed our law firm to file a petition seeking cancellation of his bail because we suspect he may have passports from other countries as well.”

He confirmed that authorities have established contact with the legal team representing Bangladesh in the UAE and that the Home Secretary has discussed the developments directly with the UAE Ambassador.

Addressing questions regarding the specific terms of the UAE court's ruling, Salahuddin Ahmed noted, “We are yet to know the details of the bail conditions. We are trying to obtain a certified copy of the bail order.”

He added that the government has directed its appointed legal representatives to formally submit Bangladesh's extradition documentation to the UAE judicial authorities while pressing for the revocation of the former police chief's bail.

When asked how Benazir Ahmed secured conditional release despite ongoing repatriation efforts, the minister declined to comment directly on the foreign court's judgment, explaining that he would refrain from discussing the decision prior to examining the complete order.

Turning to domestic security concerns following the recent recovery of bomb-like objects in the Kamalapur and Ashulia areas, Salahuddin Ahmed reassured the public that there is no reason for widespread alarm.

"A vested quarter attempted to disrupt communal harmony. However, our law enforcement agencies with the support of the Bomb Disposal Unit handled the situation successfully," he remarked.

He emphasized that security forces remain on high alert and that comprehensive investigations are underway to identify and apprehend those behind the incidents.
