Benazir Skips ACC Interrogation Again

Former inspector general of police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed did not appear before the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Sunday despite being summoned by the anti-graft watchdog for the second time to face questions over allegations of amassing vast wealth illegally.

The ACC's investigation committee was scheduled to grill the ex-IGP about the graft allegations this morning as Benazir avoided the first face-off with the commission on 6 June.

On 28 May, the commission asked the former police chief to appear before it on 6 June and his wife and their two daughters on 9 June. Following their applications seeking time, the ACC set 23 June and 24 June respectively for their appearance before it.

ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan said, “The ex-IGP will not be given any more time if he fails to appear this time. However, the investigation into graft allegations will continue.

“The probe committee will submit its report before the ACC after the investigation. Then the commission will decide on the next course of action.”
