Bangladesh, June 15 -- Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed, once one of the most powerful figures in Bangladesh's law enforcement hierarchy, has been arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with assistance from Interpol.
The arrest comes after a prolonged period in which he was a fugitive in cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). His detention is being viewed by officials as a significant development in ongoing anti-corruption enforcement efforts.
Authorities said the arrest was carried out through international cooperation. Under UAE legal procedures, a formal extradition request must be submitted through diplomatic channels within 30 days of the arrest date.
