Ahmed Rafiq Baraki:
During his tenure as Director General (DG) of RAB from 2015 to 2020, hundreds of “extrajudicial killings” (crossfires) and disappearances took place in the country under the direct orders and connivance of Benazir Ahmed. He brutally killed and disappeared the opposition and ordinary people without regard to the law in the name of ‘war on drugs’ and ‘maintenance of law and order’.
On December 10, 2021, the United States of America (USA) issued an international ban on Benazir Ahmed and the RAB led by him under the Global Magnitsky Act due to this gross human rights violation, which shamed the state on the world stage.
In March 2024, information about his huge illegal wealth was leaked to the media.
He forcibly recorded about 621 bighas (114 acres) of land belonging to Sanatan religious people and common people in various areas including Gopalganj, Madaripur, under the threat of power.
Developed ‘Savannah Eco Resort and Natural Park’.
It is said that Dhakai film actress Vidya Sinha Mim had a regular trip there.
There is no complaint that Vidya Sinha Mim had a close relationship with Benazir Ahmed. Also, she married him in one day in Gulshan.Also, 4 luxury flats were bought in the name of his family in Gulshan in one day.
Investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) found huge illegitimate assets in the name of him and his family (wife Zeeshan Mirza and daughters Farheen and Tahseen).
In May 2024, the Dhaka court ordered freezing of his 33 bank accounts and all assets.
Later, on 22 December 2025, the property of 4 seized flats in Gulshan was directly transferred to the government ‘Principal Adviser’s Relief and Welfare Fund’ on the order of the court.
During his tenure at the top positions of RAB and police, he used to stage “militant plays” to hide any major political crisis or failure of the Awami government.
He used to bring innocent and ordinary youths from different areas outside Dhaka, torture them inhumanely and organize dramas of so-called ‘militant hideouts’ or ‘gunfights’ to gain political advantage and gain fame in the international arena.
During his tenure as IGP (2020-2022), Benazir controlled a multi-crore bribery syndicate in the recruitment of constables, sub-inspectors (SI) in the police force and posting of officer-in-charge (OC) or district SP (SP) in various lucrative police stations.
OSD is selective, punitive in remote areas of those who were honest, anti-flattering and professional officers within the force.
