Dhaka, July 17 – A Dhaka court on Friday placed JKG Healthcare’s chairman, Dr Sabrina Sharmin Hussain, on two more days remand in a case filed over issuing fake Covid-19 certificates. Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Masudur Rahman passed the order.
Detective Branch Police’s Sub-Inspector Liyakat Ali sought a five-day remand to interrogate her in the case in the second phase.
The court denied her bail.
Earlier on Monday, Court put Dr Sabrina on a three-day remand, a day after she was arrested from Sher-e-Banglanagar in the case.
Police called Dr Sabrina to the office of Deputy Commissioner (Tejgaon Division) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) for interrogation. She failed to give any satisfactory answers to the queries of the investigators and was later shown arrested in the case filed at Tejgaon Police Station on June 23.
The case was filed accusing six persons, including Ariful Chowdhury, Chief Executive Officer of the JKG Health Care, and also the husband of Dr Sabrina, over making fake COVID-19 test reports.
Earlier on June 23, police arrested six persons, including Dr Sabrina’s husband Ariful Chowdhury, Humayun Kabir and his wife Tanjina Patwary from JKG healthcare office of Confidence Tower of Gulshan in connection with the case.
Though Dr Sabrina denied being the chairman of JKG which provided thousands of fake Covid-19 reports without conducting any test of the collected samples, her husband Ariful provided detailed information about her involvement in the nefarious act to the police.
JKG Health Care Chairman Dr Sabrina came to the spotlight as their company’s false corona report scam surfaced.
