Accused 'on the run' seen at BKSP

The key accused of the Dhaka University admission test question leak case, Alip Kumar Biswas, was seen at his office in Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP) in Savar last evening while police are looking for him saying he is on the run.

A former activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League of Dhaka College, Alip works at BKSP. Earlier an official of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) said they already alerted the airports and land ports so that the suspect could not flee the country.

Sources said Alip sent an email on Wednesday night seeking a 12-day leave. He went to BKSP last evening and was staying there till the filing of the report at 9:00pm.

BKSP Director General Brig Gen Shamsur Rahman confirmed to The Daily Star that Alip applied again for leave saying his “mother is sick”. Earlier he took leave from Sunday to Wednesday, citing the same reason.

Asked if he knows CID is looking for Alip, the DG said no law enforcers contacted them yet. He came to know about the allegation through newspapers.

Contacted, a CID official said Alip was an accused in the case and the BKSP authorities already knew the reason why he was seeking leave.

“It is their ethical responsibility to inform law enforcers. We will deal with the matter in a different way if his leave is authorised,” the CID official added.

Earlier, CID arrested two BCL leaders Mohiduddin Rana and Abdullah Al Mamun hours before the 'Gha' unit admission tests on October 20. During primary interrogation, the arrestees said Alip was running a racket to leak question papers.
