At least 26 people have been arrested in a crackdown on those involved with leaking the questions for exams to recruit assistant teachers for primary schools.
RAB claims the mastermind of the scam has been arrested by their personnel from Rajshahi.
Tests to recruit the teachers for primary schools started simultaneously in 61 districts of Bangladesh (except the three Hill districts) at 10:00am on Friday.
The job-aspirants were to answer objective questions for 80 marks in 80 minutes.
Near 1.19 million aspirants took the test for the 14,858 posts of assistant teachers in primary schools across the country.
‘We have heard from some districts of questions of this test been leaked. Some arrests have also been made. District authorities have been asked to compare the leaked questions to those answered by the job-aspirants,’ said Shyamal Kanti Ghosh, Director-General of Directorate of Primary Education.
Reports of leaked questions being photo-copied for sale to job-aspirants started floating in since late on Thursday.
Rapid Action Battalion’s intelligence chief Ziaul Ahsan told bdnews24.com that raids to nab the culprits responsible for the leak started late on Thursday.
Mostafizur Rahman, who RAB feels is the mastermind of the leak, was arrested along with eight others from Rajshahi by RAB-5, Ahsan said.
Samples of the leaked question paper were recovered from them, he said. But Ahsan could not provide details about how the leaks had happened and whether the seized question paper is akin to those used to testing the job-aspirants.
Six others were arrested from photo-copy shops in Gopalganj for suspected involvement with the leaks during raids before midnight.
Gopalganj Detective Branch of Police’s Sub-Inspector Moazzem Hossain said those arrested were photo-copying the question papers.
Five more were nabbed from one photo-copy shop at Gourango Bazar in Kishoreganj, Sadar Model Police Station OC Hammad Hossain said.
Seven others were picked up for suspected involvement with the leaks from Netrakona.
The district administration conducted raids on several photo-copy shops in the district on Thursday night, police said.
Leaking of the question-paper for the exams to recruit primary school teachers were reported from Kushtia, Mymensingh,Tangail, Narsingdi and several other districts of the country. (Source)
