In an effort to clean up the streets of Dhaka from crime and gambling, a Dhaka court sent Mohammedan Sporting Club’s director-in-charge Md Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan to jail, rejecting his bail petition in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Habibur Rahman Bhuiyan passed the order on Sunday after Tejgaon police station Sub-Inspector Kamrul Islam, also the investigation officer of the case, produced him before the court after completing the two-day remand.
In the remand prayer, the investigating officer said: "Lokman gave important information during the remand, which cannot be disclosed for the sake of the proper investigation of the case. Therefore, he needs to be kept in jail to ensure conducting a smooth investigation."

GK Shamim's 7 bodyguards remanded again
A Dhaka court placed the seven bodyguards of contractor Golam Kibria Shamim alias GK Shamim, on a three-day remand in an arms case filed against them with Gulshan police station.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Moinul Islam passed the order, as investigation officer (IO) and Rapid Action Battalion 1 (RAB) Deputy Director Shekhar Chandra Mallik, produced them in the court yesterday, and asked for a fresh seven-day remand.
The accused are Delwar Hossain, Murad Hossain, Jahidul Islam, Shahidul Islam, Kamal Hossain, Samsad Hossain, and Aminul Islam.
Opposing the remand prayer, the defence lawyer submitted a bail petition before the court, seeking bail for the seven accused, but the court rejected it after a hearing.
Earlier, on October 1, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yasir Ahsan Chowdhury allowed RAB to interrogate GK Shamim’s seven bodyguards, and put them on a four-day remand in a separate case under money laundering prevention act.
On September 26, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Devdas Chandra Adhikari showed Gk Shamim's bodyguards arrested in a case lodged with Gulshan police station under the money laundering case.
A mobile court of the RAB, led by Executive Magistrate Sarwar Alam, surrounded Shamim’s office at Niketan, and conducted a raid on September 20.
Shamim, who used to con people by identifying himself as a leader of Jubo League, was detained along with his seven bodyguards, and around Tk2 crore in cash along with fixed deposit receipts (FDR) for about Tk 165 crore were seized from his office.
Apart from the money, the elite anti-crime force also recovered illegal firearms, ammunition, and drugs from Shamim’s office.
