According to the FIR report of the case, a government house on a one-bigha land in Dhanmondi residential area was allocated to the then diplomat Mohammad Ali on November 3, 1951.
Later, in 1970, the authorities concerned agreed to hand over the land to inheritors of Mohammad Ali — his second wife, son, daughter. Also, mutation of the land was made in their names. On May 22, 1970, the ministry concerned also gave approval for handing over the land to them.
