A huge fraud ring is working across the country centering on the ongoing admission test. One of them is Masud. Last Sunday, a young man named Masud Sarkar was caught in the admission test of Chittagong University (CU) in D unit. He is a postgraduate student in the history department of Carmichael College, Rangpur. After his arrest, he revealed much sensational information.
According to university sources, the teachers in charge suspected that the picture of the examinee did not match with the picture of the admit card during the examination at the library building on Sunday afternoon. At that time, when they informed the proctorial body, they identified him. Later, Assistant Proctor SAM Ziaul Islam and Muhammad Yaqub came and questioned Masud Sarkar. During the preliminary interrogation, Masood admitted the matter of him giving proxy exam. The arrested Masud is a resident of Gaibandha's Sundarganj upazila.

Later, the mobile court wanted to release him on bond but the university administration further questioned him as he was suspected to be a member of a gang. Then all the secret information came out. Bangladesh Post has received some evidence of secret information. Analyzing them, it can be seen that Masud is a part of a gang those who take exams on behalf of others in exchange for money in different universities.
Although Masud claimed that he did not know any of the other members of the gang, he named Omar Farooq, a former student of the law department of Rajshahi University in the 2009-10 academic year, as the main culprit. He controls their cycle. Moin Uddin, a student of the same department of the same university in the 2014-15 academic year, confirmed that there was a former student named Omar Farooq. Omar Farooq's house is in Dahaband village of Sundarganj upazila of Gaibandha.
According to Masud, 'I spoke to Farooq a week before the Rajshahi University exams. Then Farooq Bhai said, give the test like this and get money. I only talked to other people I worked with. I have never met anyone.'
However, despite repeated attempts to contact Omar Farooq's number, no connection was found.
Detainee Masud told the correspondent that he had taken this year's B unit examination at Haji Danesh University of Science and Technology Center in Dinajpur for Tk 15 thousand and Rajshahi University for Tk 10 thousand in this unit instead of others. He took an advance of Tk 3,000 from each of them. He successfully gave those tests. This time in the D unit of Chittagong University, he sat for the exam instead of Zulkarnain, a humanities student of Dhanmondi Ideal College. He was contracted for 10 thousand Tk in exchange for this test instead of Zulkarnain of Gobindaganj in Gaibandha.
University Assistant Proctor Ziaul Islam told Bangladesh Post, ‘We arrested one person while giving proxy. Although the mobile court released him on bond, we detained him. Talking to him, I got various important information. He is in our custody at the moment. A case is being prepared against Masood and the person who gave the test.’
