The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has issued a notice to former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed and his family, requiring them to provide a detailed account of their assets within 21 working days.
The notices were sent to their permanent addresses today (1 July), said ACC officials.
This development follows a two-month investigation into allegations of illegal wealth accumulation by Benazir, his wife Jissan Mirza, and his two daughters, Farheen Rishta Binte Benazir and Tahsin Raisa Binte Benazir.
The ACC found Benazir's claims that his assets were legally acquired to be unconvincing.
"Benazir and his family have claimed in written statements that their wealth was legally acquired. But their explanations don't add up and are thus unacceptable. The ACC team will soon submit their report to the commission based on the analysis of the collected data," said an ACC high official, seeking anonymity.
As part of their investigation, the ACC summoned Benazir on 6 June, and his wife and daughters on 9 June for questioning, but Benazir and his family did not appear.
Instead, they submitted a written statement through their lawyer on 20 June.
Compounding the issue, Benazir was found to have used a passport obtained under false pretences, concealing his police identity and violating government regulations.
The ACC discovered seven passports belonging to Benazir and his family.
On 25 June, eight passport office officials were interrogated by the ACC regarding this forgery.
The investigation was launched following a national daily's report on 31 March, which alleged illegal wealth acquisition by Benazir and his family.
The ACC's report, led by Deputy Director Hafizul Islam, is being finalised and may recommend filing charges against Benazir and his family.
