Dhaka Bureau: Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed has claimed that the news published about himself on social media Facebook is false. On Saturday, April 20, in a video message titled ‘Amar Bek Katha’, he spoke about the news published against him.
Wishing everyone Eid-ul-Fitr and Bengali New Year, Benazir Ahmed said, ‘You know that I retired from the job almost two years ago. I am living a quiet life during this retirement. During the period of service from 2012 to 2014, I was subjected to continuous and persistent smearing and defamation by a group on social media.’
Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed said, “My family and my name have been falsely published.” Til is presented as a rhythm.
He said, based on this news, some other outlets have repeatedly served similar news. However, the mainstream print and media of the country showed no interest in reporting this false, defamatory, and distorted news. For this, I and my family are very grateful to the journalist friends of the mainstream media.
Benazir Ahmed said the information about my and my family’s properties outside Dhaka and Dhaka is completely false. The calculation of salary and allowances is fictitious and incorrect. The amount of land on the Gopalganj family agricultural farm mentioned is not correct. All the land information is mentioned in the tax file. Besides, several pieces of information, including the national identity cards of my family members, have been disclosed. Which seriously hurt me.
A recently published national daily claimed that former Inspector General of Police (IGP) and former Director General of RAB Benazir Ahmed have found a large amount of illegal assets. Since then, this former IGP of police has been discussed a lot.
Jatiya published a report titled ‘Aladdin’s Lamp in Benazir’s House’ in which the details of his various financial assets were highlighted. Benazir’s vast assets include an elite and scenic tourist center called Savannah Eco Resort in Sahapur Union of Gopalganj. Also, at least six companies in different parts of the country were found in the name of his wife and two daughters. The total investment in five institutions may exceed Rs 500 crore.
The report also claims that Benazir Ahmed owns expensive flats and houses in elite areas of Dhaka and bigha after bigha of land near Dhaka. Best Holdings and the five-star hotel La Meridien have 200,000 shares in the names of the two daughters. In Purbachal, there is a duplex house spread over 40 kathas with an estimated value of at least Tk 45 crore. There are another 10 bighas of land worth 22 crores in the same area.
However, in the last 34 years and seven months of long service life, Benazir Ahmed’s salary and allowances are supposed to be 1 crore, 84 lakh, 89 thousand, and 200 taka.
