Sources at Ramnath's house restoration and preservation committee said that the house and land of Ramnath has been occupied by Abdul Waheed, an alleged member of a Razakar family, for a long time.

Although Waheed claimed that he bought Ramnath's house and land from Moni Biswas. Local journalists and journalists from Dhaka were attacked by Waheed's people on September 11 when they were trying to collect information related to Ramnath's house and land. Waheed was later expelled from Baniachong Upazila Awami League party.

Ramnath was born on March 22, 1894, in Baniachong, Habiganj.
