A Dhaka court on Tuesday issued an arrest warrant against Ayesha Akter, mother of controversial contractor Golam Kibria Shamim alias GK Shamim, in a case filed for amassing illegal wealth.
Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order, setting December 15 for submitting the report on executing the order, reports BSS.
The court came up with the order, accepting the charge sheet filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against Shamim and his mother.
As Ayesha is still on run, the court issued the arrest warrant against her.
The ACC on October 21, 2019, had filed the case against Shamim and his mother for amassing Tk297.08 crore in illegal wealth.
Back in December 2020, after a long investigation, ACC had approved the charge sheet against Shamim and his mother in the same case.
Shamim was known as an influential contractor of the Sabujbagh, Basabo and Motijheel areas of the capital.
He was arrested along with illegal firearms and a huge amount of money from his Niketan office on September 20, 2019, in a drive against illegal casinos and other anti-social businesses.
Seven of his bodyguards were also arrested during the raid.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) members had seized Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDRs) worth Tk165 crore, Tk1.8 crore in cash and a huge stash of foreign currencies, reports UNB.
A foreign-made pistol, seven shotguns and a huge cache of bullets were also seized from the office of GKB & Company Pvt Limited.
The next day, RAB filed three cases –- one under the Narcotics Control Act, one under the Money Laundering Prevention Act and the other under the Arms Act – against Shamim with Gulshan police.
