CID seeks 10-day remand to quiz GK Shamim
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday submitted a 10-day remand prayer for quizzing GK Shamim, a top government-listed contractor, in connection with a money laundering case.
The court, however, set today for hearing on the remand prayer in presence of Shamim.
Earlier in the day, another Dhaka court placed Shamim’s seven bodyguards on four-day remand each for interrogation in the same case.
They are: Delwar Hossain, Murad Hossain, Zahidul Islam, Shahidul Islam, Kamal Hossain, Samsad Hossain and Aminul Islam.
Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yasir Ahsan Chowdhury passed the order after the investigation officer, Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Abu Sayeed of Criminal Investigation Department, produced them before the court in this regard.
On September 26, Shamim and his bodyguards were shown arrested in a money laundering case.
Rab members on September 20 arrested Shamim on charges of extortion and tender manipulation. His seven bodyguards were also arrested at the time.
The elite force raided his house and office in the city’s Niketan and seized eight firearms, a huge amount of ammunition, fixed deposit receipt (FDR) worth Tk 165 crore, around Tk 1.8 crore in cash, a large stash of US and Singaporean dollars and some foreign liquor.
The next day, Shamim was placed on a 10-day remand in cases filed under the Arms Act and Narcotics Control Act.
