- 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?
