Meanwhile, under the headline "Students caught using phones, invigilators stand idly by," a news report published in a daily newspaper. The news came to the attention of the Education Minister. The report mentions that during the ongoing HSC exams at the national high school in M. Monsur Ali Union of Kajipur in Sirajganj, students were seen using smartphones while invigilators are simply standing by.

It is known that a racket made such arrangements for the examinees by paying a huge amount of money to the exam center committee. This cycle is being conducted through at least 9 WhatsApp groups combining the Science, Humanities, and Commerce group.

Mir Mohammad Mahbubur Rahman, deputy commissioner of Sirajganj informed that based on the published news, 11 people were expelled and one person was sentenced to 7 days in jail. The responsible officials at the center have been replaced and a committee of three members has been formed to investigate the matter.
