Shohel Rana, Mahmudul, Ansarul Islam, Debasis, Rabiul Auwal, Rajiur Rahman and Rejaul Karim were arrested from Dhaka's Mirpur, Kalabagan and Shiddeshwari areas on Friday.
The detainees were also allegedly involved in helping people cheat in the recruitment test for Department of Narcotics Control (DNC).
The DB police also recovered USB drives, Bluetooth devices, SIM cards and mobile phones from the possession of the detainees.
DMP Deputy Commissioner Masudur Rahman, in a press briefing on Saturday, said: “Among the detainees, Shohel has been held before for the same offense, but he had secured bail later.”
He said they were also involved in leaking question papers of different recruitment examinations.
Masudur Rahman said in the preliminary interrogation, they learned that this time they had leaked the question papers of DNC recruitment test.
He said: “We also found out that among the detainees, three sat for the exam with electronic devices.
“Later, they sent the question papers to the other four, who solved the problem and resend the solutions to their clients.”
