The bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice KM Hafizul Alam rejected the bail plea on Tuesday, reports UNB. The High Court also directed the investigation officer of the case to complete the investigation within four months after rejecting a rule on their bail. It also issued a rule asking the government to explain as to why four bodyguards of GK Shamim should not be granted bail in the case. The four body guards, Mohammad Zahidul Islam, Mohammad Shahidul Islam, Kamal Hossain and Shamshad Hossain, filed bail petitions with the High Court when a subordinate court rejected their bail plea on December 24. Golam Kibria Shamim alias GK Shamim, who was known as an influential contractor of Sabujbagh, Basabo and Motijheel areas of Dhaka, was arrested on September 20, 2019.
