Unchecked abuse of power by higher officials gives rise to 'Frankenstein-like personalities' and weakens state accountability: TIB

According to the press release, the organisation demanded decisive legal action against those who aided such abuses and compensation for those who were forced to sell their land by the former police chief.

Reports suggest that the former IGP used fear and hostage-taking tactics to sell land, mainly targeting minorities. He reportedly hired his own and other government agencies' personnel to carry out these tasks.

In a media release, the TIB Executive Director said that there was no scope to accept the claim that the government had no idea about Benazir Ahmed's corruption and her huge wealth.

TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman described the situation as deplorable, highlighting that property was forcibly acquired through collusion and intimidation with law enforcement and government agencies. Victims' opportunities for justice were systematically blocked, which necessitated severe punishment of the main accused and compensation to the victims, he said.
