Ex-IGP Benazir Ahmed and family face four new corruption charges

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed four separate cases today, accusing former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed and three of his family members of illegally acquiring wealth. 

The cases target Benazir, his wife Jissan Mirza, and their two daughters, Farheen Rishta Binte Benazir and Tahseen Raisa Binte Benazir. Benazir is a key suspect in all four cases.

ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain, who oversees prevention activities, confirmed that the decision to press charges was made during a meeting earlier in the day.

These new accusations come after the ACC had previously filed another case against Benazir Ahmed, accusing him of passport forgery.
