According to a report published by Amar Desh on January 16, 2026, former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was evicted from her residence on Mainul Road inside Dhaka Cantonment on November 13, 2010. The house, associated with her late husband President Ziaur Rahman, was described as a place of deep personal and historical significance. The eviction followed a government decision in April 2009 to cancel the property’s lease, citing irregularities and claiming that such an allocation to a political figure violated cantonment regulations.

The report alleges that several political, judicial, and military figures were involved in the eviction process. It names Sheikh Hasina, her military adviser Tariq Ahmed Siddiq, former chief justices A.B.M. Khairul Haque and S.K. Sinha, and other senior officials as key actors. The article also describes the judicial proceedings that finalized the eviction without a hearing and recounts Khaleda Zia’s emotional reaction during a subsequent press conference.

The report further claims that the eviction was politically motivated and coordinated through multiple state institutions. It presents the incident as a significant episode in Bangladesh’s political history, linking it to broader tensions between the Awami League and the BNP.
