Arabic term (edited): هُجّر

evicted

It is critical when you post a question that you include sufficient context, because multiple words may serve the gereral purpose, but may not equally serve the particular context.

For instance, when a resident is told to leave his home because of an impending hurricane, we say the resident was evacuated.

But when a resident is told to leave his home because he is default of payment of rent or monthly installment, or because of any other violation of contract, we say he was evicted.

"Evacuated" carries the sense of assisting the resident to escape danger. "Evicted" carries the sense of being force to leave, usually under the cover of some legal pretext, whether rightly or wrongly.

Driven out, forced out, removed from

I would rather use "driven out", "forced out" , "removed"
instead of "eviction" in this context.
ex.
..(he) was driven out of his home 2 years ago leading to filing a case and initiating an investigation
