She also changed her mother’s name, as well as educational qualifications, declaring herself a graduate.

It is mentionable that, JKG Healthcare's chairman Sabrina Arif Chowdhury (Sabrina Sharmin Hussain) and her husband Ariful Haque Chowdhury are among the eight accused in the case for providing fake coronavirus report.
