Twelve more prosecution witnesses (PWs) testified before a Dhaka court on Wednesday in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed.

At the end of the day's proceedings, Judge Abdullah Al Mamun of Dhaka Special Judge Court-5 adjourned the hearing until November 5.

So far, 34 of the 36 prosecution witnesses have testified in the case.

According to case documents, Benazir submitted a wealth statement through his lawyer on August 27, 2024, in response to an ACC directive.

In the statement, he declared immovable assets worth 6.45 crore taka and movable assets worth 5.74 crore taka. However, the ACC's investigation found that he owned immovable assets worth 7.52 crore taka. The commission alleged that he concealed immovable assets worth 1.85 crore taka.

The ACC also found movable assets worth 8.15 crore taka in his name, 2.40 crore taka more than the amount declared.

According to the commission's calculations, Benazir acquired unexplained wealth worth 11.04 crore taka.

The ACC filed the case against him on December 15, 2024, at its Integrated District Office-1 in Dhaka over allegations of concealing information in his wealth statement, acquiring illegal wealth and money laundering.

After completing its investigation, the commission submitted a charge sheet against Benazir on November 30, 2025. The charge sheet was prepared by ACC Deputy Director Hafizul Islam.

The court framed charges against the former IGP on May 3, 2026.
