Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed has broken his silence regarding the investigative reports published by kalerkantho, which shed light on alleged misdeeds and corruption attributed to him. The revelations have sparked controversy and criticism both domestically and internationally.

However, on Tuesday, Benazir Ahmed finally addressed the allegations through a post on his verified Facebook page at 11:11 am. In his post, he urged for patience, stating, "Two people are very angry, very excited and Immediately wrote the editorial, sub-editorial, article. Please have a little patience." He further added, "Kutsar kissa avi vee baaki hai" (The story of the jug is still pending).

However, the response from netizens was largely negative, with many expressing skepticism and further raising questions about corruption and the extent of Benazir Ahmed's alleged illegal assets. The lack of a clear denial or detailed explanation from Benazir Ahmed has only fueled public discontent and intensified demands for accountability.

The unfolding situation underscores the importance of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law in governance.
