A Dhaka court has placed Regent Group Chairman Shahed Karim on a total of 28-day remand in four cases.
The court granted 7-day fresh remand in each of the four cases when police produced him before the court after end of 10-day remand on Sunday, Assistant Public Prosecutor Hemayet Uddin Khan told the media.
The court also placed Regent Group Managing Director Masud Parvez on 21-day remand.
Earlier on July 16, a Dhaka court put Shahed Karim and Masud Parvez on 10-day remand over allegations of faking Covid-19 test and embezzlement.
On July 15, a team of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Md Shahed from Debhata upazila in Satkhira.
After Shahed's arrest, at least 20 cases have been filed against him with different police stations in Dhaka. Most of these are cases of fraud.
