An unexpected turn of events has arisen concerning the 46th BCS preliminary exam held on April 26, as the Public Service Commission (PSC) reported no evidence of a question paper leak, despite court confessions from individuals arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
On July 7, a private TV channel reported alleged leaks in various government job exams, including the 46th BCS. The CID arrested 17 people, including three PSC officials, for suspected involvement. In response, the PSC formed a three-member committee on July 9, led by Abdul Alim Khan, which concluded there was no evidence of a leak.
Abdul Alim confirmed the findings, noting that they received no assistance from the CID and that the TV channel did not share its evidence.
However, the PSC report contradicts the confessions of those arrested. Six of the 17, including a former PSC chairman’s driver and an office assistant, admitted in court to leaking questions and participating in financial transactions.
Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) criticized the report, calling for accountability and legal action. Efforts to reach the PSC chairman for comment were unsuccessful.
