Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has raided an office of Regent Hospital Chairman Md Shahed.
RAB members took Shahed with them to a house on Road 20 of Uttara Sector 11 on Wednesday afternoon, RAB sources confirmed.
Earlier in the day, the Regent Hospital chairman was arrested from the border area of Debhata in Satkhira around 5:10am and later was flown back to Dhaka by a RAB chopper and was taken to RAB Headquarters for interrogation.
He is accused of providing fake Covid-19 certificates and embezzling money from patients.
Lt Col Ashik Billah, director (legal and media wing) of RAB, confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune.
RAB also recovered an illegal firearm during the arrest.
The arrest comes two day after a Dhaka court issued an arrest warrant against Shahed in two cases filed over misappropriation of Tk3.68 crore.
Regent Hospital owner Shahed was absconding since RAB raided the Uttara and Mirpur branches of the hospital.
Shahed has 56 cases against him and has been wandering around under the nose of police for a long time.
