‘Charge sheet to be pressed soon against Shahed’

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said charges will be framed soon in the cases newly filed against Regent Hospital Chairman Shahed alias Shahed Karim who was arrested for allegedly issuing fake Covid-19 certificates as well as charging exorbitant fees for Covid-19 testing and treatment of inpatients.

Besides, the cases filed earlier against Shahed will also be looked into, he said.

The home boss came up with the comments while talking to reporters after a programme at the Press Institute of Bangladesh (PIB) in the capital on Sunday (July 19).

“Police are dealing with the cases filed against Shahed. Shahed earlier secured bail to several cases. But, we will now look into all the cases filed against him. He must face punishment. No one involved in this connection will be spared,” the minister said.

“Shahed has committed a despicable crime in the name of coronavirus tests. Country’s image has been tarnished for him. For this, he has been arrested,” he added.
