Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) may question the chairman of Technical Education Board, in case he is found to be involved in any capacity with the fake certificate syndicate, which doesn't necessarily have to be incriminating.
The sleuths of the DMP recently raided a fake certificate manufacturing factory in the city's Mirpur area and also arrested two people from there. In the raid's aftermath, Shahela Parveen (54), the wife of Ali Akbar Khan, chairman of the Technical Education Board, was arrested from Uttara.
