EC Blocks Shahed's NID Card

The Election Commission on Monday blocked the NID card of Regent Group Chairman Md Shahed alias Shahed Karim, who was arrested and put on a 10-day remand on a charge of issuing fake COVID-19 certificates.

The NID card of Md Shahed has been blocked as he is accused in card forgery, EC sources said.

On July 16, a court placed Shahed and Regent Group's managing director Masud Parvez on a 10-day remand each in a case over issuing fake COVID-19 certificates.

The Regent Group head office along with both the hospitals were sealed off and 16 people, including the chairman, were sued on charge of issuing fake coronavirus test reports.
