We had our intelligence surveillance on him. This group was again active in the recruitment examination of DNC on Friday. Their used devices are so subtle that nobody has the ability to understand until
they are suspected, said Masudur Rahman.
“In a contractual basis of Tk. 5-10 lakh with each candidate they were linked up with them and using electronic devices to leak question paper in the country’s important recruitment test,” said the DC.
