Tulip Siddiq, currently serving as a minister in London and the niece of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, received an apartment in Central London from developer Abdul Motalif, linked to associates of her aunt, according to reports by Financial Times.
Documents from the Land Registry reveal that Tulip was bestowed with a two-bedroom flat near King’s Cross in 2004 at no cost. She currently serves as the economic secretary to the Treasury.

The property located at King’s Cross was reportedly acquired for £195,000 back in January 2001. A recent sale of a similar unit in the same building fetched £650,000 last August.
A spokesperson representing Tulip stated firmly, “Any implication connecting Tulip Siddiq’s ownership of this property or any other real estate to support for the Awami League is completely inaccurate.”
Motalif confirmed through a phone interview that he made the purchase but declined further comments on subsequent actions regarding it.
According to an insider familiar with this case, “Following financial backing offered by Tulip’s parents during difficult times for an acquaintance, he transferred ownership of his property into her name out of gratitude.”
These revelations about her gift are raising new concerns over Tulip’s ability to distance herself from london-flat-from-developer-connected-to-hasina-ft-reveals/” title=”Tulip Receives Luxurious London Flat from Developer Connected to Hasina: FT Reveals”>corruption allegations; she has recently been named by Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission which is probing claims against her family linked to embezzlement involving government projects.
An opposition member accused Sheikh Hasina’s family members—including Tulip—of receiving illegal funds from connections associated with a Russia-funded nuclear initiative known as Rooppur power plant. Both they and their affiliates have vehemently denied these allegations.
