Shawan brought the allegation in a Facebook post on Thursday with a photo of Moudud standing in front of a Gulshan-2 house from where he was evicted on Wednesday after losing a legal battle.
After independence, Bangabandhu gave a house in Malibagh to the family of Altaf, who composed the Amar Ekushey song. The family were forced from the home in February 1982.
Shawan alleged Moudud, and the then home, public works and land secretaries plotted the eviction.
She wrote on her Facebook wall that the picture of Moudud standing in front of his house during the eviction "cured many of her illnesses".
She recalled how her family had been evicted only on a day's notice. She was 14 then.
"I watched the police go on the rampage," she wrote.
She said how the LP records of her father and the musical instruments of a school set up on the ground floor of the home were thrown out and broken on that day.
"We could not save many things associated with my father's memory," she told bdnews24.com later on Thursday.
She said they had rented a flat of a neighbour immediately on that day of eviction.
During the eviction, Moudud, visibly shaken, told the media that he would sleep on the pavement.
Citing Moudud's remarks, Shawan wrote: "Tit for tat. Oh...and another thing, though we did not know where would we live on that day, we did not think about staying on pavement."
Liberation War sector commander Bir Uttam Khaled Mosharraf's daughter Mahjabeen Khaled, MP, who had experienced a similar eviction, described Moudud losing home as 'divine punishment’.
Speaking in parliament on Thursday, she alleged BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia had taken several 'vengeful' steps against her family.
She alleged goons led by Khaleda's nephew in 2005 forced her family illegally out of a house given to her mother for Khaled Mosharraf's gallantry in the war.
"This is karma. God gives His judgment in this world. Khaleda Zia had to leave her cantonment house and Moudud Ahmed left his house yesterday," she said.
BNP chief Khaleda had to leave her house in Dhaka Cantonment seven years ago after losing a legal battle.
Moudud’s early career dates back to the late 1960s. As a young lawyer just back from London, he joined Bangabandhu's defence team in the Agartala Conspiracy Case.
After military leader Ziaur Rahman took over, Moudud became a part of the government. He served as a minister and the deputy prime minister in that regime.
Moudud also served as minister, deputy prime minister, prime minister and finally the vice president in the nine years of military dictator HM Ershad's regime.
He returned to the BNP in 1996 and served as law, justice and parliamentary affairs minister under the 2001-06 BNP-led alliance government.
