Benazir seeks 15 days' time extension to face ACC

Former inspector general of police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed has sought time extension for 15 days from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to respond to its summons notice.

The former IGP made the request for extending time through his lawyer, ACC Commissioner (investigation) Md Jahurul Haque told reporters at the ACC headquarters on Wednesday.

The commissioner said Benazir and his family are entitled to request an extension as per law and the ACC can grant it for 15 days.

In the last month, the ACC asked Benazir to appear before the anti-graft body on June 6.

The anti-graft body also asked Benazir’s family members to face quizzing on June 9 over a large amount of properties outside of their known income.
