Police Will Not Take Blame Of Benazir’s Corruption: Asaduzzaman

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Saturday said the police would not take the blame if its former chief Benazir Ahmed committed corruption. “If someone has done wrong, the individual will be tried as per the law,” the minister said at a programme at Dhaka University. 

Home Minister said that there is no specific information about whether former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed is in the country or abroad.

“However, Benazir will face trial if he commits a crime. At the same time, the police force will never take responsibility for Benazir’s personal crimes,”he added. 

He said, “If former IGP [inspector general of police] Benazir Ahmed involved himself in corruption, it would be his personal issue. The police will not take responsibility for that. What he has done will be known after the investigation.”

The minister added, “I heard that he [Benazir] left the country although no embargo has been put on his departure. Though I am not aware of the issue, I will talk about this after knowing the details.”
