During the raid today from 12:00pm to 5:00pm, conducted by a team of the district administration and ACC, a list of all items recovered was made.

  • The ACs found in the home were locally made
  • A fridge was found, alongside a TV, some furniture and books
  • A chandelier was also found
  • A set of sofas could be seen inside the bungalow

What was said

Speaking to reporters following the raid, Narayanganj Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) Shafiqur Alam said all the furniture in the house of Benazir was of very ordinary quality.

There was nothing special inside the bungalow, he said.

Why did the raid take 5 hours?

Alam said the raid took five hours as the items each had to be listed accurately. No media personnel were allowed inside during the time of the raid.

  • ACC Deputy Director Moinul Hasan said a report will be sent to the head office and action will be taken accordingly if any instructions are given later.
