On Monday, the court issued an arrest warrant against the two accused for not appearing before it during a hearing in the case.
According to the case dockets, the Unique Group MD took Tk2.93 crore from Selim Ahmed for the apartment (commercial space) on the 13th floor of the 20-storey building named Unique Heights. The apartment was handed over to Selim Ahmed on November 25, 2015.
