Dr. Sabrina's trial in dual NID case begins

DHAKA, Feb 12, 2023 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today framed charges against Dr

Sabrina Sharmin, chairperson of JKG Healthcare, in a fraud case filed by the
Election Commission (EC) on allegations of having two seperate NID cards on
her name.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Ahmed rejected her plea for exemption
and framed the charges against her.

At the same time, the court fixed June 13 for testimony in the case.

Election Officer of Gulshan Police Station Mohammad Momin Mia filed the case
against Sabrina with Badda Police Station on August 30, 2020.

Sub-Inspector (SI) of Detective Branch (DB) of Police Ripon Uddin submitted
charge sheet against Dr Sabrina Sharmin on November 24 last year.

According to the case, Sabrina possesses two active NID cards. She became a
second-time voter during the 2016 voter roll update. Her date of birth and
husband's name are found to be different on the two cards.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sought information from the EC to
know the details.

On July 19, 2022, Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain
sentenced six people including Sabrina and her husband Ariful to 11 years of
rigorous imprisonment in the case of issuing fake COVID-19 certificates.

She is currently out on bail.
