The Detective Branch of Police on Wednesday night detained an honours student on charge of selling question papers of different public examinations, including the SSC, from Dakkhin Khan in the capital.
Asaduzzaman Noor Shakil alias Reazul Islam Liton, 22, is a first year student of physics at Government Titumir College and a supporter of Islami Chhatra Shibir, DB Joint Commissioner Monirul Islam told reporters at DMP Media Centre yesterday.
Shakil was arrested in a drive from Puraton Mollartek area of Dakkhin by a DB team led by its Assistant Commissioner Mohorom Ali, on a tip-off. A laptop, two mobile sets, a pen drive and a modem was seized from his possession.
Monirul claimed Shakil used to prepare questions from suggestions of renowned schools and colleges and then sell those online claiming to be leaked question papers.
He used to deliver the questions on Facebook, messaging the buyer – students or guardians – upon receiving payment through bKash, he added.
Shakil has earned nearly Tk10 lakh by only supplying question papers for the medical admission tests in 2014.
Monirul claimed that they got some questions for the ongoing SSC examinations in his laptop, which are fake.
“Shakil used a fake Facebook account named as Reazul Islam to operate his business,” he said.
Deputy Commissioner of DB Sheikh Nazmul Alam said there were some more Shibir men involved with this gang and they have two goals – making money and tarnishing the image of the government.
“We will take him into remand to know who else are involved with him or any staffs of the Dhaka Education Board are involved with this racket,” he added.
