2 JnU students held for exam fraud
Jagannath University (JnU) authorities yesterday handed over two students to police for taking semester final examinations of another student and forging an admit card.
The arrestees were identified as Sayed Ohiduzzaman, student of the university's Islamic history department, and Mehedi Hasan, student of political science department.
Earlier on October 21, Detective Branch of Police arrested Ishtiaq Ahmed, a student of the university's political science department, for leaking questions of the university's admission test, said sources.
After Ishtiaq's arrest, Ohiduzzaman has been sitting for Ishtiaq's semester final exams using the fake admit card he made with the help of Mehedi Hasan.
Using the fake admit card, Ohiduzzaman had already given three exams of Ishtiaq yesterday but was caught during the last exam by a team led by examination controller AKM Akteruzzaman, who handed him and Mehedi over to police.
AKM Akteruzzaman said acting on a tip off, they checked the examination room and found Ohiduzzaman giving Ishtiaq's exam.
Contacted, Dr Asoke Kumar Saha, proctor of the university, said a departmental inquiry committee would be formed to investigate the incident and the accused students would be duly punished.
