Dhaka Special Judge Court-5 has recorded the testimonies of five more prosecution witnesses in the corruption case filed against fugitive former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed over accumulating illegal wealth. Judge Abdullah Al Mamun recorded the depositions on Thursday, November 12, 2026, bringing the total number of witnesses examined to 44 out of 47. Because Benazir Ahmed remains absconding, no cross-examination took place, and the court scheduled the next hearing for November 19, 2026.

The five witnesses who testified include Prime Bank FAVP Md. Qader Hossain, Standard Chartered Bank Manager Rajiur Rahman Zahid, United Commercial Bank FAVP Md. Enamul Haque, Police Headquarters ASI Md. Al Amin, and former Bandarban Additional Deputy Commissioner S.M. Manjurul Haque. Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam noted that investigating officer Deputy Director Hafizul Islam filed a supplementary charge sheet on October 7 after uncovering banking transactions linked to a house purchased in the United States. The updated charge sheet accuses Benazir Ahmed, his wife, and his daughter of amassing BDT 78 crore 40 lakh 16 thousand 895 in illegal wealth at home and abroad, expanding the witness list to 47.Photo Caption:
