Teacher-coaching centre nexus found

Chittagong district administration has found involvement of two coaching centres and a section of teachers and office staff of Chittagong Collegiate School in the leaking of admission test results of the school. 

A case was filed with Sadarghat Police Station on Sunday in this connection accusing six persons and the computer operator of the school had already been suspended, said Zillur Rahman, deputy commissioner of Chittagong.

Marjina Akter, officer-in-charge of the police station, confirmed the filing of the case, saying that investigation was underway and they were yet to arrest anyone in this connection.

The admission test for fifth grade was held on December 19. The next day, the results of the test flooded the social media around 11:35pm. The official results were published at 12:30am on December 21. 

Soon after the district administration took notice of the result leak incident, it launched an investigation and found involvement of the six accused, said sources.

The test results were stored in a computer of Chittagong Collegiate School. A section of teachers and staff of the school made printouts of the results and handed those over to Babla Dey, director of Babla Sir Coaching Centre, said DC Zillur Rahman. “...computer operator Ridwanul Haque, upper division clerk Faruk Ahmed, and assistant teachers Anwar Hossain and Anis Faruk of the school were involved in the [results leak] incident.”

“It was also found that Babla collected various information about the admission test via Mohammad Mamun -- a director of Mamun Coaching Centre,” said Zillur.
