A court has remanded expelled Jubo League leaders SM Golam Kibria Shamim (GK Shamim) and Khaled Mahmud Bhuiyan for another seven days in a case lodged by the Anti Corruption Commission on Oct 21.
Dhaka Senior Special Judge Court gave the order on Sunday (Oct 27) after scrapping their bail pleas.
On Oct 22, the anti-graft watchdog sought 10-day remands each for both Shamim and Khaled in addition to show them arrested.
On Oct 21, the ACC filed a case against the two with its integrated district office-1 for amassing illegal wealth.
Shamim and his mother Ayesha Akhter have been accused of acquiring illegal wealth worth nearly Tk 3 billion while Khaled stands accused of illegally amassing over five-and-half billion.
According to the case documents, as of the 2018-19 fiscal, Shamim owned assets worth Tk 500 million and even though over 400 million was accounted for in the tax documents, the ACC hasn’t been able to track any legal source for the money.
The anti-graft watchdog didn’t find any legal source for fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) worth Tk 1.65 billion and nearly Tk 20 million in cash seized from his home or for any of the assets in his or his mother’s name.
Meanwhile, during the raids at Khaled’s Gulshan residence on Oct 18, the law enforcement agency also seized illegal weapons, yaba tablets, and a huge amount of cash. The ACC didn’t find any source for the five-and-half billion worth of assets in his name.
