A Dhaka court has appointed additional administrators to oversee the confiscated immovable properties of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed and his family members.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Director of the Property Management Unit will manage the properties located in Dhaka and Rupganj, while the Deputy Commissioner of Bandarban will oversee the land properties in that district. This order was passed by Judge Mohammed Ash-Shams Joglul Hossain of the Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court of Dhaka, following a petition submitted by ACC Deputy Director Md Hafizul Islam, according to ACC lawyer Mahmud Hossain Jahangir.
