The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) grilled controversial contractor SM Golam Kibria Shamim alias GK Shamim for the second consecutive day on Monday over the accumulation of illegal wealth.

On Monday, a team headed by ACC Director Iqbal Hossain began the interrogation around 10.30am at the ACC headquarters in city’s Segun Bagicha.

Earlier on Sunday Shamim was brought to the ACC headquarters  from the Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj for interrogation.

Dhaka's Senior Special Judge Court placed Shamim on a seven-day remand in custody of the ACC on Oct 27 after rejecting his bail plea in the case.

Shamim, who made a fortune as a contractor and identifies himself as a Jubo League leader, and his mother Ayesha Akhter are accused of amassing Tk 297.8 crore illegally.
