Fake Covid-19 Certificates: Rab arrests Regent Group MD Parvez from Gazipur
The Rapid Action Battalion arrested Masud Parvez, managing director of Regent Group, from Gazipur this evening.
Parvez, also a close aide of Regent Group Chairman Md Shahed, was arrested from Kapasia area of Gazipur around 7:00pm, Lt Col Ashique Billah, director of Rab's legal and media wing, told The Daily Star.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. He is the second accused in a case filed by Rab for issuing fake Covid-19 test reports from Regent Hospital, said Ashique Billah.
Parvez had assisted Shahed to forge Covid-19 certificates, said the Rab official.
On July 7, Rab filed a case against Shahed and 16 other staffers of Regent Group and Regent hospitals after a mobile court found proof that the hospital authorities had issued fake Covid-19 certificates and charged patients for tests and treatment, violating an agreement with the government.
Shahed went into hiding after the drive began on that day.
