Ruling Awami League presidium member Shajahan Khan’s daughter Oaishe Khan on Sunday was denied permission to fly for London from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport after she produced a false COVID-19 negative report.
Director of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport Group Captain AHM Tauhid-Ul Ahsan confirmed that immigration authorities denied the London-bound passenger permission to fly as they found her COVID-19 positive after crosschecking her certificate.
Shajahan Khan said the National Institute of Laboratory Medicine and Referral Centre provided a negative certificate to his daughter on Saturday as she gave her swab at Dhaka North City Corporation-installed booth at Mohakhali on July 24.
He said after his daughter returned from the airport his family communicated with the Directorate General of Health Services and they provided another report terming her COVID-19 positive.
He said that he would file a complaint with the DGHS about the matter as he claimed that he was cheated and his social image was tarnished.
DGHS assistant director Ayesha Akter said that they were trying to identify actual reason of different results.
