A student went viral on social media after making a TikTok video inside the examination hall in Akhaura, Brahmanbaria while attending a model test for the upcoming SSC exam.
The viral video, which was captured on Thursday, has created a stir among students, teachers and guardians at the school.
However, the school authorities only cautioned the accused SSC examinee Sabbir Hossain and his guardian following the incident.
The school's Headmaster Shashank Ray Chowdhury said that mobile phones are not allowed inside the examination hall and that the student's guardian was summoned in connection with the incident.

He further added that future actions regarding this matter will be decided in consultation with the school's management committee.
On Thursday, the tenth grader recorded a TikTok video while attending an English second paper exam and later uploaded it on Facebook, drawing flaks on social media.
The 15-second TikTok video, recorded in the examination hall, showed various images inside the center accompanied by background music.
Akhaura upazila Secondary Education Officer Md Abul Hossain said that no school can hold any exam in the name of model tests for the upcoming SSC exams and recording a TikTok video on a mobile phone while inside an examination hall is totally out of question.
“An investigation will be conducted into the matter, and appropriate action will be taken against those responsible,” he said.
