A Dhaka court has granted the police five days to quiz Faisal Al Islam, the managing director of Shahabuddin Medical College Hospital, along with two others in a case accusing the private facility of running unauthorised COVID-19 tests.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court passed the order to remand Faisal, Abil Hasnat, an assistant director of the hospital, and storekeeper Shahriz Kabir after they were produced in the court by the police on Tuesday.
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) uncovered a series of irregularities committed by the hospital in a drive on Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.
The elite force started a case the following day and arrested the three from Banani's Sweet Dream Hotel owned by Faisal's father Md Shahbuddin, amid allegations of unapproved coronavirus tests.
The RAB handed them to Gulshan police. The court turned down a bail petition and sent them into police custody.
