Historical overview

Rise and power base

Public roles are source-confirmed; controversies or allegations must be read separately as source-backed evidence-layer material.

Dhaka

Documented patterns

Reported themes: Regent Hospital Covid-test certificates, government-health-service MoU controversy, fraud cases, ACC asset and embezzlement reporting, money-laundering reporting, banking/default-loan context, arms-case appeal posture, and bail/re-arrest history.

Public impact

The public-interest value is understanding how power in state institutions, policing, media, urban governance, or finance is discussed in records.

Historical legacy

Prothom Alo reports that Md Shahed, also known as Shahed Karim, came to public attention during the Covid period after RAB raided Regent Hospital and a fraud case was filed over Covid certificates. The Daily Star later reported a 2026 police-custody episode after public detention and noted prior bail release in multiple cases. The profile separates reported allegations, filed cases, convictions, acquittal/stay posture, bail status, and later arrest-warrant or custody reporting instead of treating every item as a final finding.

Next steps should model each claim, case, court order, response, or correction as a separate structured record.
