A total of 75 people were arrested and sentenced on charge of sitting a recruitment test under the Agriculture Ministry as proxies.
They were arrested at Dhaka University, where the one-hour MCQ test was held. The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) conducted the exam on Friday.
Four of the arrestees are current students of the university, said acting proctor Amzad Ali.
Shahbagh police station Officer-in-Charge Abu Bakar Siddique said 70 of the 75 arrestees were sentenced to 15 days in prison while the remaining five were held at the police station for further inquiry.
“The on-duty magistrate of a mobile court sentenced the offenders,” he said.
