A Dhaka court has postponed the verdict in a money laundering case against SM Golam Kibria Shamim, a controversial contractor for government projects, and seven others. The court wants to hear another round of arguments if the defendants agree, Rabiul Alam, a court official, said on Sunday. A new date for the verdict is likely to be announced later on Sunday afternoon. The other suspects are Md Delwar Hossain, Md Morad Hossain, Md Zahidul Islam, Md Shahidul Islam, Md Kamal Hossain, Md Samsad Hossain, and Md Anisul Islam. The Rapid Action Battalion arrested Shamim and his bodyguards in a raid on his business in Dhaka’s Niketon on Sept 20, 2019.
