She is in jail in the case filed over the issuing of fake Covid-19 certificates. JKG Healthcare reportedly provided 27,000 coronavirus reports without following proper test procedures, and most of them turned out to be fake. On June 24, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) cancelled all approvals given to JKG Healthcare for collection and testing of Covid-19 samples. The cancellation order was issued a day after police arrested three JKG Healthcare officials, including Dr Sabrina’s husband and JKG Healthcare CEO Ariful Chowdhury, and two others for their suspected involvement in giving fake Covid-19 test reports to people who had given samples at the health facility.
