Controversial contractor and expelled Jubo League leader Golam Mohammad Shamim alias GK Shamim secured bail in two cases in Feb, however, the Attorney General’s Office is yet unaware of it.

Shamim’s counsel Sawkat Osman said that his client secured bail from High Court on Feb 4 and Feb 6 in two cases filed against him for keeping arms and drugs.

He also said on February 6, the High Court bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice SM Mozibur Rahman granted a six-month bail to Shamim in an arms case.

Sawkat also added that Shamim, however, needs to secure bail in two more cases filed against him in order to be freed from custody.

Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Fazlur Rahman Khan, the state lawyer for this court, said he was not aware of any such developments regarding GK Shamim’s case.

“I have no information regarding this bail order. I have also not received any file related to this bail petition or hearing,” he said.

On September 20, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested GK Shamim and seized Tk1.80 crore in cash, Tk165.27 crore worth of fixed deposit receipts (FDR), alcohol and firearms, from his Niketon office in Dhaka's Gulshan area.
