Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) today revealed that 140 allegations have been made against private-run Regent Hospital and Regent Group chairman Mohammad Shahed alias Shahed Karim in the hotline and email id of the elite force.

"It is revealed in the RAB investigation that Mohammad Shahed earned illegal money around Taka 10 crore making forgery with different individuals and institutions," RAB legal and media wing director Lt Col Ahsik Billah told a press conference at its headquarters here this afternoon.

Besides, he said, Shahed allegedly did not pay salaries to his institutions' officers and employees who contacted with RAB for getting legal aid to realise their dues.

"Victims of forgery made 120 allegations against Shahed over hotline and 20 over email to the RAB," Billah said adding that Shahed used to introduce himself as an important person of the society falsifying his identity and thus now he has come as an 'idol of forgery'.
