Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud today (June 3) said former IGP Benazir Ahmed can travel anywhere as no ban has been issued against him anywhere in the world.

He told reporters while responding to a question at a media briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after his return from Antigua and Barbuda and New York, USA.

He said there has been no travel ban against him – neither from any court nor from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). 

According to media reports, Benazir, his wife, and their daughters left Dhaka on a Singapore Airlines flight on the night of May 4.

Meanwhile, ACC said they summoned Benazir for quizzing over allegations of accumulating illegal wealth. Additionally, the commission summoned his wife and daughters for questioning on June 9.
