DHAKA, Nov 02, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set November 10 for holding the hearing on charge framing in a money laundering case against eight people including contractor Golam Kibria Shamim alias GK Shamim.

Judge Mohammad Nazrul Islam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-10 passed the order, allowing a time plea from the prosecution.

Today was fixed for holding hearing on charge framing and the prime accused GK Shamim was produced before the court for that. But the police could not produce other seven accused before the court, prompting the state side to plead for time.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh on October 5 set today to hold a hearing on charge framing, accepting the charge-sheet filed by the police in the case.

The court also transferred the case to Dhaka Special Judge Court-10 for further proceedings.

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) 1 Nayek Subedar Mizanur Rahman filed the case on September 21, 2019, for laundering around Tk168 crore abroad through FDR. Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Additional Superintendant of Police Abu Sayeed filed the charge sheet in the case on August 4, making 26 people witnesses.

The other accused in the case are GK Shamim’s bodyguards Delwar Hossain, Murad Hossain, Jahidul Islam, Shahidul Islam, Kamal Hossain, Samsad Hossain and Aminul Islam.
