Monir Hossain is one of those accused officials. He managed promotion by using a fake one-year computer course certificate. When he was asked to turn on the computer and show it, he got up and left.
Another officer Naina Ferdous has done a computer course. But when she has asked to come to her office for talks about it, she did not comply with.
Many such officers of DU got promotion with fake computer certificates, though many of them cannot operate computers. Hundreds of officers have applied for new promotions. Most of them have taken certificates from Aziz Super Market’s Karmayog Sangstha.
