One of the alleged leaders of a question-paper leaking gang, who helped many cheat their way into universities, also got a government job allegedly through the backdoor.

The question papers of Dhaka University's “Gha” unit admission test in 2015 and 2016 were leaked from a printing press in the capital's Indira Road.

The government yesterday suspended an official over the mistakes in question papers of English-version primary terminal examination.

Nine persons have been detained for their alleged link with question paper leak from Dhaka’s Tejgaon area and several fake HSC question papers seized from them, police said.
