The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has asked the central bank to freeze all bank accounts of Regent Hospital Chairman Mohammad Shahed and JKG Health Care Chairman Dr Sabrina Sharmeen Husain.
Shahed and Sabrina both are currently under police custody.
"A letter was sent to the Bangladesh Bank to freeze all bank accounts of JKG Chairman Sabrina and Regent Hospital Chairman Mohammad Shahed," said director-general of NBR's Central Intelligence Cell, Md Alamgir Hossain.
NBR has also moved to freeze the bank account of Regent Hospital's Director Ibrahim Khalil.
RAB arrested Shahed in a Satkhira village bordering India on Wednesday and airlifted him to Dhaka before handing him over to the police.
Sabrina, a government cardiac surgeon and the wife of JKG Health Care CEO Ariful Chaudhury, was suspended by the health ministry for violating service rules by holding the post of chairman in a private organisation without permission.
Law enforcement agencies brought charges against Shahed and JKG Health Care authorities for providing false reports without Covid-19 test.
