Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Saturday said the police would not take the blame if its former chief Benazir Ahmed committed corruption.

The minister said these at a programme at Dhaka University.

He said, “If former IGP (inspector general of police) Benazir Ahmed involved himself in corruption, it would be his personal issue. The police will not take responsibility for that. What he has done will be known after the investigation.”

The minister added, “I heard that he (Benazir) left the country although no embargo has been put on his departure. Though I am not aware of the issue, I will talk about this after knowing the details.”
