The Daily Star
Police have arrested a pro-vice-chancellor of the America Bangladesh University and two others allegedly for selling fake certificates of the institution from the capital's Dhanmondi and Bijoynagar.
The arrestees are Pro-VC Masudur Rahman, and Mehedi Hasan and Mohammad Shakil, who are students of two other universities.
Sub-inspector Shariful Islam of Dhanmondi Police Station claimed that Masudur was a pro-VC of the America Bangladesh University. He had been selling fake certificates, mainly those of BBA and MBA, of the university with the help of Mehedi and Shakil over the last six months, said the SI.
Shakil told the police that they used to sell a certificate at Tk 40,000 to Tk 45,000, the SI said.
On information, police arrested Mehedi and Shakil from in front of Dhanmondi's Lab Aid Hospital Wednesday afternoon with three certificates, and Masudur from Bijoynagar with five fake certificates the same night.
Yesterday, police placed the trio before a court and sought seven-day remand for each of them. The court, however, sent them to jail. The SI said a case was under process.
The arrest was made three days after the education ministry, University Grants Commission (UGC) and private universities rejected a research report of Transparency International Bangladesh, which claimed that some universities issue fake certificates in exchange for Tk 50,000 to Tk 3 lakh.
The SI added that following media reports on the TIB report they strengthened their vigilance regarding the issue.
