Capital's development authority Rajuk is demolishing a Gulshan house, 18 days after evicting BNP Standing Committee member Moudud Ahmed, who had been living there illegally, following a Supreme Court order.
Rajuk and police official went to the house around 8am on Sunday, an hour before the demolition work started.
“The house belongs to Rajuk,” Executive Magistrate Khandker Oliur Rahman, leading the operation, told the Dhaka Tribune. “It was built without Rajuk's permission and did not have an approved design.”
Rajuk evicted Moudud on June 7 and reclaimed the house located in the Gulshan Avenue on a 1.13 bigha plot worth around Tk300 crore.

The BNP leader and his party claimed the move was politically motivated.
BNP's Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi alleged the demolition aimed at diverting public attention from mismanagement of the transport sector during the Eid season.
Eighty-one Eid holidaymakers have died in road accidents in the last six days, he noted.
Moudud, at a separate media briefing, said: “I do not understand why Rajuk is demolishing the house when the court is hearing two cases filed over the property's possession.”
