Rejoinder
Mohammadpur Model School and College authorities yesterday issued a rejoinder to a report headlined “13 university admission seekers jailed” published in The Daily Star on Saturday.
In the rejoinder, the principal of the institution referred to a statement of Sanchita Rani Das, an admission seeker who was caught for adopting unfair means in a Dhaka University admission test held at the college.
She claimed that the test invigilator, who was from the college, had allowed her to use cell phone inside the exam hall.
The rejoinder said, “The claim is absolutely baseless as the test invigilator did not permit her to do so. He asked all examinees to submit the electronic devices to him. But Sanchita Rani Das did not respond to his call. Later, the invigilator caught her red-handed with a mobile phone set.”
