Six coaching centres in the capital, running in defiance of a government ban during the month of SSC exams, were sealed off yesterday.

A mobile court of Rab carried out the raid and sentenced eight persons to one-month jail each for the offence.

Executive magistrate of Rab-2 Sarwoer Alam sealed off the coaching centres including Moby Dick, Nabadiganta Academy, Joy Jatra, Onanya Dreams, Creatives and Blaze during the drive.

In Farmgate, the team sealed Moy Dick coaching centre.

Owners of the coaching centres were running business by hanging a “closed” sign on the main gate, said Sarwoer.

“Many students complained that teachers don't take proper care in schools. I will report this to the ministry,” he told The Daily Star.
