Rajuk begins drive to evict Moudud from Gulshan home

Staff Correspondent: Rajuk has now been conducting an eviction drive at BNP senior leader Barrister Moudud Ahmed’s Gulshan house.

RAJUK Inspector Saiful Islam told risingbd that they launched an eviction drive around 1.00pm on Wednesday.

Apart from RAJUK officials, a large number of policemen are taking part in the drive.
A witness said bulldozers have been brought to the scene.

The Supreme Court on Sunday dismissed three petitions filed seeking review of its verdict scrapping a High Court judgment that ordered the authorities to mutate the Gulshan land and residence, where Moudud has been living for more than three decades.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on December 17, 2013, lodged a case with Gulshan Police Station against Moudud and his brother Monzur on the charge of grabbing the "abandoned public land", worth over Tk 300 crore, in the capital's Gulshan.

Meanwhile, terming the move as nasty politics, Moudud Ahmed said he would not leave the house.
