Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) is set to start an “undercover operation” through out the country to prevent question paper leak ahead of the upcoming SSC examination scheduled to begin February 2.
The elite force members have already scaled up their cyber monitoring and patrolling to prevent question papers leak or fake question papers, Benazir Ahmed, Director General of the RAB, said this in a press briefing at RAB Media Centre on Wednesday.
“RAB is also already on vigilance to check question papers leak. It has increased cyber monitoring and will conduct undercover missions. The force has already started their work, and its results can be seen in a day or two,” said the DG.
“I urge the guardians not to run after the question papers. And I say to the teachers, not to get involved in such things,” he said.
Benazir also warned students of legal action if anyone is found involved in such activities. RAB personnel will visit and monitor all examination centres as well, Benazir added.
Earlier, on January 20, the government directed authorities of all coaching centres to keep those closed during SSC and equivalent examinations.
Meanwhile, RAB on Wednesday claimed arrest of one person in Satkhira for deceiving people by giving fake question papers of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations.
The accused identified as Istiaque Ahmed Yaqub, 18, is a member of a gang which used to mislead people and collect money from them by providing fake questions of the SSC exams, according to the RAB.
Istiaque was caught by RAB-6 team from Stadium area in the district town on Tuesday night.
RAB’s Deputy Director Lt Commander AMM Jahidul Kabir said that Istiaque created a fake messenger group named “SSS XM 19K” in Facebook to provide the fake SSC questions and asked people to remit money through a bKash number 01743853377.
“In this way, he along with his gang members has already collected a good amount of money from at least 80 people,” the RAB official said.
The elite force members also seized Istiaque’s mobile phone, he added.
Istiaque told the journalists that he contacted with at least 80 people to provide fake questions but yet to receive money from them.
