Question leak again?

Staff Correspondent
Allegation of question leak has once again been brought involving an evaluation test for government jobs. The candidates appearing the written test for the position of Thana Education Officer (TEO) yesterday brought up the allegation as invigilators found a copy of the question paper with hand written answers on the reverse side. Vice Principal of the college AKM Golam Mostafa said they caught a person red-handed with a question paper having hand-written answers on it and handed him over him to the police. A total of 258 students sat for the exam after the preliminary screening on June 25. Police arrested two people from the examination centre at Government Science College in the city's Tejgaon. Of the two, Abdul Hadi Pradhan of Rangpur was arrested for copying while Abid Hasan was held for taking the examination as a proxy for Shahidul Islam from Bagerhat. Chairman of PSC, Sadaat Hossain, however, denied the possibility of exam paper leak. He said, “Our system makes it nearly impossible for questions to be leaked, adding, “We will however, look into the copy incident.” Officer-in-Charge of Tejgaon Police Station Md Mahbubur Rahman told The Daily Star that a case has been filed in this connection and they would send the arrestees to the court tomorrow. Earlier, around 167 people were arrested and written test for evaluating assistant teachers for government high schools was postponed on July 8, after questions were leaked.
