Mr. Harunur Rashid also said DB Officers are communicating with the officers of related institutions.
In replying to a question from a journalist, Mr. Harunur Rashid said, “Samsuzzam thinks that some brokers are moving around the chairman of the Technical Education Board. Besides, journalists and the anti-corruption commission investigate irregularities. If they are also by his side, then he can trade the fake certificate on a large scale. That’s why he built a large network. Mr. Samsuzzaman, with his associate Faisal, prepares fake certificates in a separate house. That’s why various people communicate with him.
