Benazir's arrest will be decided by court after case: Obaidul Quader

Obaidul Quader, minister of roads and bridges, and general secretary of the Awami League

Obaidul Quader, general secretary of the Governing Awami League, stated that he was unsure if the former inspector general of police (IGP), who was charged with accumulating money beyond his known sources of income, had fled the nation.
Benazir Ahmed is presently embroiled in a judicial proceeding, he declared. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will file a case, and the court will then determine when it is appropriate for him to be taken into custody.
Speaking at a press conference held today, Friday, at the Dhanmondi political office of Awami League president Sheikh Hasina, was Obaidul Quader, who is also the minister of road transport and bridges.

Obaidul Quader responded, "The matter is in process," to reporters who questioned him about whether or not Benazir Ahmed should be placed under arrest. ACC is looking into it as part of the procedure. Should ACC submit a case, the timing of his arrest and jail sentence will be determined by the court. The legal system will handle the case. As the government, what directives will we issue?"

I'm not aware of this. It remains unclear.
Obaidul Quader on Benazir's departure from the nation
According to numerous media sources, Benazir Ahmed and his family have departed the nation. "I do not know about this," the general secretary of the Awami League responded when asked if he ought to have been arrested earlier. It's still unclear."


It has been discovered that Benazir Ahmed has taken money out of his bank accounts already. Obaidul Quader responded to this query by saying, "I'm not aware of these difficulties. This is an issue of the legislation. ACC has stated that they have learned of this issue; allow them to provide evidence."
