Court asks jail authorities to produce Dr Sabrina

Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday directed the jail authorities to produce JKG Healthcare Chairperson Sabrina Sharmin Hossain on November 22 in a case filed in connection with possessing two National ID cards with fake information.
Dr Sabrina, who was imprisoned for 11 years on July 19 in another case filed about issuing fake Covid-19 certificates, is now in Kashimpur High-Security Jail of Gazipur.
In the same case, her husband Ariful Chowdhury, the Chief Executive Officer of JKG Healthcare, and six others were sentenced to 11 years imprisonment for the same offence.
Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Tofazzal Hossain passed the order after Sabrina’s lawyer Pronab Kumar Kanti
submitted an application, seeking the first-class division in jail for the accused. The defense lawyer also appealed to the court to hear the petition in presence of his client.
On August 30, 2020, Gulshan Thana Election Officer Abdul Momin Mia filed the case against Dr Sabrina with Badda Police Station of the city. According to the case statement, Sabrina became a voter for the first time in 2009. At that time, she mentioned Mohammadpur as her current and permanent address. She also mentioned December 2, 1978, as her date of birth.
She enlisted her husband’s name to be ‘Haque’ and her educational qualification as a post-graduate.
In her second NID card, issued in 2016, she mentioned Badda as her current and permanent address and her husband’s name as “Ariful Chowdhury”. In the second ID, she used December 2, 1983, as her date of birth. She also changed her mother’s name, as well as her educational qualifications, declaring herself to be a graduate.
