The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has issued a notice seeking the submission of the assets statement of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed and former NBR official Matiur Rahman and their families, ACC Secretary Khorsheda Yasmeen on Tuesday said in a press briefing at the commission headquarters.

She said that notices have been issued to find out whether the members of these two families have any other assets apart from the seized assets.

Earlier on June 30, it was known that the ACC has issued notices to NBR, BFIU, Directorate of Registration, BSEC, BRTA, Registrar of Joint Stock Companies And Firms (RJSC) seeking wealth statements of Matiur and his family.

ACC secretary said that after primary investigation it has been found that Benazir, his wife Zeeshan Mirza, and their two daughters have attained assets other than known income. There is information that there are more assets in the country and abroad in their name and anonymously. So, according to law, the ACC has issued notice for submission of the assets statement separately.

Earlier on 24 June, despite receiving a second opportunity to appear before the ACC, Zeeshan Mirza, Benazir's wife, and their two daughters did not show up for questioning.

Benazir Ahmed also failed to appear before the ACC on 23 June. Afterward, the ACC secretary had said the commission would now pursue further legal action against the former police chief.
