Police have set up a checkpoint in front of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia's Gulshan residence in Dhaka.
Shairul Kabir Khan, a staff of the chairperson's media wing, confirmed the development to the media on Saturday.
Police claimed that the checkposts were part of a special drive to arrest drug peddlers, militants, and criminals in the capital city.
The law enforcers surrounded a Banani hotel in Dhaka on Saturday night suspecting a militant hideout.
The Police Headquarters earlier directed the field-level officials to carry out a 15-day special drive across the country from December 1 to ward off any untoward incident ahead of the Victory Day.
Chiefs of all police units and superintendents of police in all districts have been asked to conduct the drive between December 1 and 15, according to an order sent by the operations wing of the PHQ on November 29.
