A Dhaka Court on Thursday framed charges against five people including the Chairman of Regent Hospital Md Shahed, for allegedly giving fake Covid-19 test reports and charging Tk2.66 lakh.

Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate ((CMM) court Mohna Alamgir officially started the judicial proceedings of the case by framing charges against the accused.

Four other accused in the case are- Dipayan Basu, 32, Anindya Dutta, 31, Masud Parvez, 40 and M Mizanur Rahman, 39.

Among them, Dipayan Basu and Anindya Dutta have been absconding since the beginning of the case.

On July 20, 2020, Md Rezaul Karim, an administrative officer of the Exceed Corporation Limited, filed a case with Uttara-West Police Station of the capital, alleging that 76 workers at the metro rail construction site were given fake Covid-19 test reports and the hospital had embezzled Tk2.66 lakh for the sake of the tests.
