BNP chief Khaleda Zia will return to her house tomorrow after 91-day stay at her Gulshan office. Before that she will go to court at 9:30am, a media wing staff said this evening.
“The party chairperson will go to the court at 9:30am tomorrow and after that she will return to her Gulshan residence,” Shairul Kabir Khan, media wing member of Khaleda's Gulshan office told The Daily Star.
On Thursday, Khandker Mahbub Hossain, an adviser to BNP chairperson, said she will appear before the court “if the government provides her with adequate security”.

Khaleda Zia
Criminals attacked Khaleda's car on December 24 last year when she went to the makeshift court in connection with Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust corruption cases.
On her instruction, the BNP-led 20-party alliance has been enforcing nationwide blockade since January 6 to protest the government's not allowing her party and allies to hold rallies in the capital and elsewhere.
On March 12, Khaleda flouted two arrest warrants in the two cases, and did not appear before the court citing security reasons.
Meanwhile, police last evening allowed BNP men to enter the party's central office in Nayapaltan after three months.
On Friday night, law enforcers, who had kept the BNP central office locked since January 3, were withdrawn from in front of it.
They were stationed there for more than three months to prevent BNP men from entering the office.
The development came after the BNP made major changes in its strategy.
The party shifted its focus to city corporation elections from street agitation. BNP-backed aspirants filed nomination papers to contest mayoral polls in the three city corporations slated for April 28.
