A Dhaka court on Tuesday issued a warrant to arrest egent Group boss Shahed Karim alias Md Shahed, who is behind bars right now in a forgery case, in a money embezzlement case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Habibur Rahman passed the order, taking into cognizance a case filed against the fraud kingpin for embezzling Tk20 lakh, confirmed Mehedi, a bench-clerk of the court.
Earlier in the day, a businessman filed the case with the court.
Shahed is now on 10-day police remand in a case lodged for issuing fake Covid-19 test results, certificates, and realizing money from patients illegally in the name of coronavirus tests and treatments.
On July 15, the law enforcement agencies finally caught Regent Hospital Chairman Md Shahed after eight days of investigations and raids in Dhaka and different districts.
Shahed, and the hospital he owns, have been the talk of the town since the beginning of this month after security agencies raided the hospital over the involvement of its authorities in providing fake Covid-19 certificates to people and embezzling money from patients.
