A Dhaka court on Tuesday placed four members of a syndicate involved in issuing fake certificates that says a person is free of COVID-19, on a three-day remand in connection with a case filed at Mugda police station in the capital, reports UNB.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Debabrata Biswas passed the order when sub-inspector Foysal Munshi of the police station, also the investigation officer of the case, produced them before a virtual court with seven-day remand plea.
The remanded are -- Fazal Haq, 40, Sharif Hossain, 32, Jamshed, 30 and Liakat Ali, 43.
