ACC initiates probe against Dr Sabrina

DHAKA, July 16, 2020 (BSS) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)
has launched a probe into the alleged corruption of JKG Health Care
chairman Dr Sabrina Chowdhury.

The national anti-graft agency appointed an inquiry officer today to
conduct a probe against her, ACC spokesman Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya
said.

He said ACC Deputy Director Selina Akhtar Moni has been asked to
submit a report to the Commission after conducting a probe into the
alleged corruption of Dr Sabrina.

There were allegations that despite working in the government
service (as a physician at National Institute of Cardiovascular
Diseases), Sabrina prepared and supplied 15,460 fake COVID-19 test
reports by collecting samples from COVID-18 patients.

According to the allegations the ACC received, she in collusion
with her husband Arif Chowdhury plundered Taka eight crore by
preparing fake COVID-19 test certificates. That is why the Commission
decided to probe the allegations of embezzlement of Taka eight crore
and illegal wealth accumulated by Dr Sabrina.
