It seems that the start time of Bangladesh DST is off 1 hour.

DST will actually start at 22:59.

And, newspaper below suggests that clock went back one hour at
11:59:00PM on 12-31-2009. This is actually consistent with what we
heard from a customer in Bangladesh.

So the rule would look like:

Rule  Dhaka   2009    only    -       Jun     19      23:00   1:00    S
Rule  Dhaka   2009    only    -       Dec     31      23:59   0       -
Rule  Dhaka   2010    max     -       Mar     31      22:59   1:00    S
Rule  Dhaka   2010    max     -       Oct     31      23:59   0       -
