Charges pressed against JKG Chairman Sabrina for possession of 2 NID cards

Detectives have pressed charges against Dr Sabrina Sharmin Hossain, chairman of JKG Health Care, in a case filed against her for possessing two National ID cards with fake information.

Mohammad Ripon Uddin, a sub-inspector of DB and also the investigation officer of the case submitted the charge sheet to Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court on December 1, court sources said today.

In the charge sheet, the IO said the charges brought against Dr Sabrina of possessing two National ID cards with fake information were primarily proven true and she should be brought under trial for this offence.

On August 30, 2020, Election Officer Abdul Momin Mia under Gulshan Police Station filed the case against Sabrina with Badda Police Station.

According to the case statement and EC's NID division, detained Sabrina who is involved in Covid-19 test report forgery, became a voter for the first time in 2009.

At that time, she said her current and permanent address both are in Mohammadpur. She mentioned December 2, 1978 as her date of birth.

She enlisted her husband's name as 'Haque' and educational qualification as post-graduation.

But in her second NID issued in 2016, she mentioned her permanent and current address as Badda and her husband's name as 'Ariful Chowdhury'. In that ID, she used December 2, 1983 as her date of birth.

She also changed her mother's name, as well as educational qualifications, declaring herself to be a graduate.

According to Voter Talika Ain 2009, acquiring dual NID is a punishable offence. The minimum punishment is two years' jail or fine, or both.
