Denying the question paper leak

It has been reported in the media that the question papers of Dhaka University's 'gha' unit entrance test had been leaked beforehand. Subsequently, the law enforcers detained some of the perpetrators who confessed to being involved in the leak. However, the DU administration has consistently denied the allegations without carrying out any probe into the matter. Moreover, it published the results of the test within two days, which was unusual. 

This episode reminded us of the health ministry's denial that the question papers of the medical college admission test in 2015 were leaked. The solid allegations of the question paper leak of the SSC and HSC exams in the previous years were also met with similar denial by the education ministry. 

Instead of denying it, the authorities should have conducted a comprehensive investigation. Their denial serves no interest of the students or the respective institutions other than the culprits.
