Bank recruitment question leak: Buet prof Nikhil Ranjan relieved of duty
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) professor Nikhil Ranjan Dhar, who was allegedly involved with a question leaking incident, has been relieved from his duty.
"A five-member probe body, comprising of senior teachers, was also formed to investigate the allegation and has been asked to submit the report within five working days," Buet Vice-Chancellor Professor Satya Prasad Majumder told The Daily Star today.
"As a serious allegation has surfaced against him on mainstream media, he was relieved from the post as the chairman of the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering and exam related duties," he said.
Nikhil Ranjan Dhar's name came up in the confessional statement of a man arrested over leaked question papers of recruitment exams for bankers.
Delowar Hossain, who was arrested on Wednesday in a case filed over the leaking of question papers of recruitment exams of five state-owned banks, confessed to his involvement before a Dhaka court on Thursday.
The VC said the professor helped Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST), where he is an adjunct faculty, get the job of preparing and printing the question papers.
When the questions got printed at a press, the professor, who was the head of IPE department, used to take two copies of the question papers, added Delowar, a suspended office attendant of AUST.
Delowar said he sometimes put two sets of questions in the professor's bag.
Contacted on Friday, prof Nikhil Ranjan Dhar, denying his involvement, claimed to The Daily Star that he just gave technical support to the exam committee of AUST.
