A Dhaka court has framed charges against JKG Healthcare chairman Dr Sabrina Chowdhury in a case filed by the Election Commission (EC) for having two national identity (NID) cards through forgery.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Ahmed on Monday rejected an acquittal petition and framed the charges in the case. 

The court also set June 13 for recording deposition in the case.

At the same time, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sarafuzzaman Ansari fixed August 27 for taking the testimony of witnesses.
