Dr Jahangir Kabir's organisation among 3 fined by NCRP

National Consumers' Right Protection (NCRP) conducted drives at three organisations, including Ultimate Organic Life, an organisation owned by lifestyle modifier Dr Muhammad Jahangir Kabir, in the city's Aftabnagar on Wednesday and fined them a total Tk 5 lakh over various irregularities. 

A team of the NCRP comprising Abdul Jabbar Mondal, head of Dhaka district office, and two assistant directors of NCRP head office-- Shariful Islam and Shah Alam, carried out the 3-hours long drives from 12:00 pm. 

The drives were carried out based on secret information, said an Assistant Director (Publicity section) of the NCRP head office. 

During the drive at the Ultimate Organic Life, the NCRP team found that employees were filling ghee in bottles from the containers of another organisation named Organico Care Ghee and also pasting stickers. Besides, they were also seen sticking importers' labels on some imported goods, which is a clear violation of  NCRP rules. 

The NCRP fined  Ultimate Organic Life  Tk 3.50 lakh for the various irregularities. 

Dr Jahangir Kabir shot to fame, or perhaps infamy more accurately, by endorsing and propagating various quack medical theories during the Covid-19 pandemic, becoming a very potent symbol of the 'infodemic', or epidemic of disinformation, that came to characterise the period.

The NCRP also fined Inmotion Trade International of Tk 1 lakh and Tk 50,000 to chain shop Daily Shop for various irregularities, Assistant Director Shah Alam, reports UNB.
