The Bangladesh government has initiated legal efforts to cancel the conditional bail granted to former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed and bring him back to the country. To this end, it has appointed a law firm in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said.

The minister made the remarks on Sunday (August 2) while speaking to reporters after a meeting with officers and personnel of various police units in Rajshahi.

“We have learned that former IGP Benazir Ahmed has been granted conditional bail by a court in Dubai. The government has appointed a law firm there to seek cancellation of the bail order,” the Home Minister said.

He added that the government is also trying to obtain a certified copy of the Dubai court’s order.

“We have already engaged a law firm. Efforts are underway to collect the certified copy of the court’s order. We hope to have the bail cancelled through the legal process and bring him back to Bangladesh,” Salahuddin Ahmed said.

The minister expressed optimism that the ongoing legal proceedings would enable the government to secure the cancellation of the bail and facilitate Benazir Ahmed’s return to face legal proceedings in Bangladesh.
