BCL man supplies answers for SUST admission test

Al Amin, an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), also a first year student of Food Engineering and Tea Technology department at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), was one of the suppliers of answers to the examinees of the honours' admission test in session 2016-2017. Police said a case was filed yesterday against ten people including Al Amin and Ishrat Imtiaz, another student of law department at SUST. When contacted, Sanjibon Chakrabarti Partha, BCL president at SUST, said he did not know Al Amin. But some BCL activists on the campus seeking anonymity told the Dhaka Tribune that Al Amin was a BCL activist at SUST. Earlier, police arrested eight people from Sylhet on Saturday in connection with supplying answers to the examinees. The police recovered electronic devices from them, which were supposed to be used for supplying answers to questions of the test, said Akhter Hossain, officer-in-charge of Jalalabad police station. Three of the arrestees are accused of supplying the answers, while the rest are the admission aspirants. Seven of the detainees were arrested from Kaligaon bus stand nearby SUST campus, while they got down from a bus there. Later, based on their information, the law enforcers detained the other one, who is a first year student of SUST, from a hall of the university. For the last four days, the police had been trying to arrest them, as the police had the information that a group might indulge in such type of activities, said the OC. Rashed Talukdar, proctor of SUST, said a five-member probe committee had been formed.
