A supplementary charge sheet in a case against former inspector general of police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed over accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income has revealed that he purchased a house in the United States.
ACC lawyer Mir Ahmed Ali Salam confirmed the development to The Business Standard today (12 November), saying the investigation officer uncovered bank transactions linked to the property purchase during the trial.
The transactions were not included in the original charge sheet, prompting the investigation officer to submit a supplementary charge sheet incorporating the amount involved and increasing the number of prosecution witnesses to 47, he said.
Meanwhile, five more witnesses testified before Dhaka Special Judge Court-5 today, taking the total number examined in the case to 44.
Judge Abdullah Al Mamun recorded their statements. As Benazir is absconding, no cross-examination was conducted on his behalf.
After recording the depositions, the court fixed 19 November for the next hearing.
