A mobile court yesterday sentenced two journalists to one-month imprisonment each for entering an exam centre at Bhanga Government KM College in Faridpur without permission from the centre secretary.

The question paper of SSC Information and Communication Technology (ICT) examination is found on several Facebook pages along with the answers more than an hour before the exam.

The education ministry wants to keep social media platform Facebook shut for a certain time during the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations scheduled to be held across the country on February 1 simultaneously to prevent question paper leaks.
