The Senior Special Judge Court of Dhaka yesterday placed contractor SM Golam Kibria Shamim and expelled Jubo League leader Khaled Mahmud Bhuiyan on a seven-day remand each in two separate graft cases.
Special Judge (in-charge) Md Al Mamun passed the order after investigation officers of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) produced them in the court with a 10-day remand prayer for each. The court also rejected bail petitions filed on behalf of them.
Besides, police yesterday submitted the charge sheet before the court of Dhaka’s Metropolitan Magistrate Debdas Chandra Adhikary against Khaled in a case filed under Firearms Act.
Earlier, on September 21, the ACC sued Shamim and his mother for amassing wealth worth Tk 297.08 crore beyond the known source of their income.
The Commission filed another case against expelled Jubo League leader of Dhaka South Organising Secretary
Khaled for amassing Tk 5.58 crore illegally.

Shamim is known to be an influential contractor of the Public Works Department and other government organizations. His firm GKB & Company (Private) Limited has been handling 15 major construction projects of the government, involving around Tk 3,000 crore.
On September 18, RAB arrested Khaled for operating a casino. Two days later, Shamim was arrested from his Niketon residence. They were later sent to jail in separate cases.
According to the First Information Report (FIR) Khaled showed his movable property worth Tk 1.66 crore. However, the ACC found the value of the property about Tk 4.50 crore.
