A Dhaka Court yesterday placed seven persons on two days remand each in connection with their alleged involvement in question paper leake. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Sayeed granted their remand in response to a petition filed by Habibur Rahman, sub inspecter of Detective Branch (DB), seeking seven days remand for each. Those placed on remand are Md. Rahat Islam, Md. Sujon, Zahid Hossain, Sufol Ray, Md. Al-Amin, and Mohammad Saidul Islam.

Earlier, Dhaka Metropolitan Police Detective Branch (North) arrested 14 people on Saturday in connection with question paper leak. All arrestees are involved in question paper leak of the ongoing SSC examinations, said police. Later, two cases were filed with Jatrabari and Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station against 11 persons while two other cases were filed against the remaining three in Hazaribagh and New Market Police Station.

The arrestees are. Md. Rahat Islam, Md Salahuddin, Md. Sujon, Mohammad Zahid Hossain, Sufol Ray, Md. Al-Amin, Mohammad Saidul Islam, Mohammad Abir Islam Noman, Md. Aman Ullah, Md. Barkat Ullah, Ahsan Ullah, Mohammad Shahadat Hossain, Fahim Islam and  Tahsib Rahman.

DB police said, among the arrestees, Aman, Barkat and Ahsan from Chandpur are the main culprits for leak of the question papers. At a press briefing in DMP center yesterday, Mohammad Abdul Baten, Joint Commissioner of DB, said someone secretly took a snapshot of the various sets of question papers when those reached the examination centers from deputy commissioner’s office on the day of the exam. These people then spread and distributed the snapshots through Facebook and other social network just 35-40 minutes before the start of the day’s exam.

The DB police conducted operation with the help of information technology tools and arrested them from various places in the capital on February 10, he said.

Detective Branch also seized a number of electronic devices such as laptops, 23 mobile phones and over Tk 2 lakh in cash from the detainees.

Abdul Baten claimed that members of the gang attracted candidates creating fake question paper sets and distributed those on facebook page, messenger, whatsapp and various other social media shortly before the start of the examination. Many questions from these fake question papers could be common with the original exam question paper.
