Court order
Dhaka, May 26 - A court here today ordered to attach more properties of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed, his wife Jissan Mirza, and their three daughters.
The properties, which have been ordered to be attached are- properties including four flats in Dhaka, bought under 119 deeds, four 100 percent owned companies, 15 partially owned companies. The court also ordered to freeze four BO accounts.
Confirming the matter to BSS, public prosecutor Mahmud Hossain Jahangir said the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Mohammad Ash-Shams Joglul Hossain passed the order, allowing a plea filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The same court on May 23 had ordered to freeze 33 bank accounts and attach properties under total 83 deeds of Benazir and his family.
Accusing the former IGP of amassing illegal wealth of Taka hundreds of crores under his and his family members' names both at home and abroad, the anti-graft body in its plea on that day had said the accused are trying to sell or hand over the properties and launder the money abroad and if they succeed in doing so, the state would incur a huge loss. - BSS
