A Rapid Action Battalion mobile court after their second-day raids on the hospital and the Regent Group’s main office in Uttara on Tuesday sealed them off.
RAB officials said that they arrested eight people and were searching for the chairman of the Regent Group and Regent Hospital, Md. Shahed, and the group’s managing director Masud to arrest them.
There were preparations under way to lodge a case against 17 people, including the top brass of the hospital, they added.
Md Aminul Hasan, the director for hospitals and clinics at the DGHS, on Tuesday ordered the halt to all the functions of the hospital as various irregularities surfaced during the RAB raid on the hospital’s Uttara branch on Monday.
Regent Hospital was one of the private hospitals that were permitted to provide COVID-19 treatment in the early stage of infections in March.
