ACC sends letters to 2 organisations seeking info about Shahed

The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent letters to two organisations seeking information about Regent Group chairman Mohammad Shahed alias Shahed Karim for investigation.

The letters were sent to the Health Ministry and Bangladesh Bank on Tuesday.

A sources in the ACC told media that the letter sent to the Health Ministry sought documents of Regent Hospital while another letter to the central bank sought information about Shahed's money transaction.

Earlier on Monday, the ACC decided to start an investigation into the alleged illegal wealth amassed by Shahed.

The anti-graft body formed a three-member panel, headed by Deputy Director Md Abu Bakar Siddique, to conduct the probe.

Other panel members are assistant directors Md Neyamul Hasan Gazi and Sheikh Md Golam Mowla.
The ACC source informed that Shahed amassed huge amount of money through multi-level company fraudulence, embezzlement of government funds, evading taxes as well as borrowing from banks using fake identities.

Shahed is currently wanted by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) for Covid-19 report scam.

On June 7, a RAB team led by Magistrate Sarwar Alam raided Uttara branch of Regent Hospital  and found around 6,000 fake Covid-19 reports, which had been sent out without conducting any tests.

The hospital is also accused of charging Tk 3,500 per test, despite of it being a Covid-19 dedicated hospital.

Later, the RAB sealed of both Uttara and Mirpur branches of the hospital.
