A Dhaka court has deferred the delivery of the judgment in the case against expelled Jubo League leader SM Golam Kibria Shamim, also known as GK Shamim, and his mother Ayesha Akhter, over amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 297 crore until February 17. 

Judge Md Rabiul Alam of the Special Judge's Court-4 of Dhaka set the new date. 

This marks the second time the court has deferred the judgment date. 

On January 15, the court heard additional arguments from the defense and scheduled today for the pronouncement of the judgment.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case against GK Shamim, a prominent contractor, and his mother on October 21, 2019. 

The investigation revealed they had accumulated illegal wealth totaling Tk 300 crore. 

Shamim and his seven bodyguards were arrested following a raid on his house and office in Dhaka's Niketon on September 20, 2019.
