He also holds a 5-katha land in the Eastern American City of Purbachal with his wife. Additionally, he mentioned a 10-katha plot for which he is entitled to 1.25 katha, although he has not received possession since 2007. He also disclosed having deposited 75,000 Taka for a plot from Rajuk, which is still unresolved.

Regarding movable assets, the ACC chairman stated he owns 25 bookshelves filled with valuable books, both local and international, and about 500,000 Taka worth of furniture and electronics.
