DHAKA, March 8, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today issued an arrest warrant 
against former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed in a case 
lodged over allegedly amassing illegal wealth, concealing wealth statement 
and laundering money.
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Jude Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, 
accepting the charge-sheet filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in 
the case.
 
The court also set March 30 for filing a report on executing today's order.
 
According to the case documents, the ACC asked Benazir Ahmed to submit his 
wealth statement, and he filed the declaration through his lawyer on August 
27, 2024. In the statement, he declared immovable assets worth Taka 6.45 
crore and movable assets worth Taka 5.74 crore.

However, the ACC investigation found that Benazir actually owns immovable 
assets worth Taka 7.52 crore, meaning he concealed information about assets 
worth Taka 1.85 crore.
 
The commission also found evidence that he possesses movable assets worth 
Taka 8.15 crore, which is Taka 2.40 crore more than what he declared. 
According to the ACC's findings, Benazir Ahmed acquired assets worth Taka 
11.04 crore beyond his known sources of income.
  
Following allegations of concealing asset information, acquiring wealth 
beyond known income sources, and money laundering, ACC Deputy Director 
Hafizul Islam filed a case against Benazir Ahmed on December 15, 2024, at the 
ACC Integrated District Office, Dhaka-1.
 
After completing the investigation, Hafizul Islam submitted the charge sheet 
against Benazir Ahmed on November 30, 2025.
