DHAKA, July 22, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today put chief executive
officer (CEO) of JKG Healthcare Shafikul Islam on two-day remand in a
case lodged over issuing fake Corona test reports.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Moinul Islam passed the order as
Investigation officer (IO) and detective branch inspector Liyakat Ali
produced the accused before the court and sought a three-day remand.
The same court also sent Jebun Nesa Rima, on whose name the trade
licence of JKG Healthcare was made, to jail in the same case.
Earlier the detective branch of police arrested the duo on July 21.
JKG Healthcare run by Ariful Haque Chowdhury and his wife Dr
Sabrina Arif Chowdhury, was realising money from the suspected
patients for coronavirus test, whereas the company had inked a deal
with the government to conduct the test free.
The fraud company was even faking the signatures and seals of
government agencies in making forged Corona test reports, while
throwing away the samples taken from suspected patients.
A victim named Kamal Hossain lodged the case against them last month
with Tejgaon Police Station.
Apart from Shafiqul Islam and Rima, Ariful, Sabrina, Biplob Das,
Mamunur Rashid, Humayun Kabir Himu, Tanjila Patwari and Sadi Chowdhury
are now behind bars in the case.
