DHAKA, March 08, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today scrapped a plea of JKG
Healthcare Chairman Dr Sabrina Arif Chowdhury for bail in a case lodged over
issuing fake coronavirus (Covid-19) test reports.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order after
holding hearing on the matter.
Investigation officer (IO) and Inspector of Detective Branch (DB) of
Police Liakat Ali filed the charge-sheet in the case against eight on August
5, 2020.
The other seven accused are– Sabrina’s husband and JKG CEO Ariful Haque
Chowdhury, Abu Sayeed Chowdhury, Humayun Kabir Himu, Tanjila Patwari, Biplob
Das, Shafikul Islam Romeo and Jebunnesa.
The court on August 20 framed charges against them.
The Investigation Officer (IO) and DB Inspector Liakat Ali in the charge-
sheet accused Sabrina and Ariful of being the masterminds behind the scam and
the others as their cohorts.
One Kamal Hossain filed the case with Tejgaon Police Station on June 15
for issuing fake Covid-19 test reports.
JKG Healthcare run by Ariful and his wife Dr Sabrina, 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 of cost.
