Some five members of the army-led crack forces entered the residence of Syeda Iqbal Mand Banu, mother-in-law of the detained son of former premier Khaleda Zia, on Dhanmondi Road No. 5 at around 5:15pm.

They asked her and her elder son-in-law Air Commodore (retired) Syed Shafiuzzaman about the assets of Zubaida, a physician by profession. They sought what they said were proper documents of her assets.

"They wanted to know how she [Zubaida] owns the wealth, if she has inherited those or got from Tarique," Lutfor Rahman, caretaker of the house, told The Daily Star last night.

They also asked them if Tarique, also senior joint secretary general of BNP, had kept those assets in someone else's name, he added.

"The joint forces left at around 5:45pm with photocopies of all the papers and documents regarding Zubaida's property," the caretaker said.

Presently, only Iqbal Mand Banu lives in that house.

The joint forces took away some papers including those relating to house rent from the building at 71, Motijheel Commercial Area, said caretaker Tayebur Rahman.

Details about the raid on the other one could not be known.

According to Tarique's wealth statement submitted to the Anti-Corruption Commission, Zubaida owns with others five houses in the capital. She inherited those from her late father, former naval chief Rear Admiral MA Khan.

She also owns a one-bigha land at Joydevpur.

The statement shows that Tarique, his wife and daughter have assets worth around Tk 1.40 crore.
