DHAKA, July 25, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today placed Mizanur Rahman, managing director (MD) of Regent Hospital’s Uttara Branch, on a 10-day remand in a case lodged over providing fake coronavirus test reports to 76 workers of Metrorail project.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Moinul Islam passed the order as investigation officer and Uttara West Police Station Yadur Rahman produced the accused before the court and pleaded to place him on a 10-day remand.
Police arrested Mizanur from a house in Gopalganj early today.
One Rezaul Karim, representative of a company that is working for the Metrorail project on sub-contract, filed the case on July 20 against Regent Group Chairman Md Shahed alias Shahed Karim, its Uttara hospital branch MD Mizanur and others for providing the reports without testing samples of those 76 workers for coronavirus test.
The hospital had taken three thousand Taka against each worker, but gave them fake reports, leaving the workers and their other colleagues in grave danger.
