The High Court on Monday rejected a writ petition seeking to open the three frozen bank accounts of ‘G K B and Company’ of GK Shamim, a top government-listed contractor also known to be a Jubo League leader.
The High Court bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Md Mahmud Hassan Talukder passed the order as the writ petition was not placed properly in the court.
Advocate Md Oziullah appeared in the court on behalf of the writ petition while deputy attorney general Bipul Bagmar stood
for the state. Deputy attorney general Bipul Bagmar confirmed the news.
On September 20, RAB arrested Shamim, 50, a top government-listed contractor and known to be a Jubo League leader, in connection with extortion and tender manipulation.
RAB during its raid at his home and office seized eight firearms, a huge amount of ammunition, Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) worth Tk 1.65 billion, around Tk 18 million in cash, stash of US and Singaporean dollars, and some foreign liquor, officials said.
Law enforcers filed three cases against him on the following day— two cases were lodged under Narcotic Control and Money Laundering acts while another one was filed on charge of creating panic among people by brandishing firearms with the Gulshan Police Station.
Later on September 22, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) and the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) have asked all operating banks in the country to freeze all personal and institutional bank accounts of expelled Jubo League leader GK Shamim.
