Bangladesh has started preparing the necessary documents to bring back former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed, who was arrested in Dubai. A formal letter has been sent to Interpol by the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Bangladesh, marking the first official notification regarding the case. The letter stated that legal procedures are being followed to return him within the stipulated time, and that preparations for extradition are underway.

According to police headquarters, Bangladesh aims to complete the process before the deadline. Although there is no prisoner exchange treaty with the United Arab Emirates, officials said repatriation could still be possible based on bilateral relations, though legal complexities may arise. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), police headquarters, and the Ministry of Home Affairs have begun coordinated efforts to facilitate the process.

The ACC confirmed that it has initiated the required procedures under the extradition framework and handed over case documents, court orders, and related materials to the NCB. These will be sent through diplomatic channels via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the UAE as part of Bangladesh’s effort to bring Benazir Ahmed back.
