If your curious mind wants to inquire about it, chances are you may not find anyone inside the sealed entrance most of the time. The locals love to refer to it as the 'Haunted House.'

It is rather hard to imagine that at the heart of the capital, an establishment of this scale remains empty to this day. That too, a building that belongs to the best taxpayer of the country for 14 years.

Across the capital, more than 30 similar large, vacant complexes stand tall, all of them belonging to one Kaus Mia, the owner and sole manufacturer of Hakimpury Zarda.

Kaus Mia has been topping the list of top taxpayers in Bangladesh since 2008. In recognition of his being the highest taxpayer, he has been awarded the state prize 17 times.

An interesting trait of these buildings is that all of them are without any signs; there are no holding numbers or nameplates in front of them.

One of them, the aforementioned deserted complex, is located at Eskaton Garden Road, popularly known as Panchbari, to the locals.
