2 fake students' certificates recalled by DU authority

The Dhaka University Syndicate, the highest decision making body of the university, recalled the honours and master's degree certificates of two fake students at an emergency meeting recently.
The two fake students are Mohammad Ruble Parvez and SA Ferdous Habib of Geography and Environment Sciences department.
The university officials found the irregularities while scrutinising the list of students who collected their certificates during last couple of years. DU officials started the inquiry following several such incidents occuring in recent days.
Ruble and Ferdous were identified as fake students on August 6, 2008 who took admission to the department under session 2001-02 through fraudulent means. The university administration then issued a circular canceling their studentship.
The two later filed a writ with the High Court against DU's decision. The court then ordered university authorities to allow the students to participate in the examinations but cited that their result would not be published until the issue is resolved, DU Vice Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique told reporters after the meeting.
However, the results of the fake students were published with others and they collected their certificates.
Ferdous and Ruble collected their honours degree certificates on July 16, 2007. Ferdous collected his master's degree certificate on March 30, 2009 while Ruble collected his on June 28, 2009.
DU Syndicate also formed a probe committee headed by Treasurer Prof Mijanur Rahman to investigate into the matter and identify people behind it. The committee has been asked to submit its report by three weeks.
VC Prof Arefin said the writ filed by the fake students is still in the court. He vowed to take action against the people involved in the irregularities.
