The health ministry has suspended Sabrina Sharmeen Husain, a cardiac surgeon of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, hours after her arrest over a COVID-19 test report scam involving JKG Health Care. On Jun 4, Sabrina filed a general diary against her husband and JKG CEO Ariful Chowdhury for torturing her, Sabrina told bdnews24.com. Mannan said it is a punishable offence and noted her alleged involvement with the fake test reports. On Saturday, the DGHS responded to a claim that Director General Abul Kalam Azad knew about fake COVID-19 test reports issued by JKG. Explaining its role in the JKG scam, the directorate said it had never thought the organisation would act fraudulently.
