The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is preparing responses to a series of queries raised by the Dubai Police as part of the process to repatriate former inspector general of police Benazir Ahmed, who is accused in multiple corruption cases in Bangladesh.

The commission said it would send the required explanations along with relevant case documents to the Dubai authorities within the next couple of days.

ACC spokesperson and Deputy Director Akhtarul Islam confirmed the development, saying, “Preparations are underway to send the explanations sought by Dubai Police, along with the necessary documents, including the case records relating to the illicit wealth case filed against Benazir Ahmed.”

On June 12, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed announced that Benazir had been arrested in the United Arab Emirates. Four days later, the ACC sent the necessary documents through the National Central Bureau (NCB) to the home ministry to facilitate his repatriation. The documents included copies of the cases filed against him, arrest warrants, court orders, and investigation-related records.

About a month later, Dubai Police informed Bangladesh in a letter that it had given in-principle consent to Benazir's extradition. However, it also sought clarification on several issues, including the nature of the cases against him, the allegations, and the legal proceedings.

The ACC has filed six cases against Benazir on multiple allegations, including illicit wealth accumulation, concealment of assets, and passport forgery. Judicial proceedings have already begun in one of the cases, which alleges that he amassed illegal assets worth nearly Tk 74 crore.
