Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)-3 arrested a woman from Udayan Higher Secondary School for fraud. The woman identifying herself as the wife of an Army official tried to influence the authority to admit two boys in the school.

The school authority filed a deception case with the Shahbagh police station against the woman Nipa Chowdhury a resident of 19/1/B, Sheikh Saheb Bazar in Azimpur of Lalbagh thana.

Nipa Chowdhury, who took Tk 40,000 from Shahabuddin Manik to manage the admission of his child Abu Sayeed Hira in class four of the school, made a call to the Acting Principal Khaleda Habib some days ago identifying herself as the wife of a high Army official to admit the boy, who had failed in the admission test.

Being suspicious of the repeated call in the name of the wife of a high Army official the school authority informed RAB-3 to cross check her identity.

The RAB personnel earlier recorded the phone conversation of the woman with the school authority and later called her to come to the school yesterday to admit the boy.

The woman told journalists that she called the school authority twice as a guardian.

She, however, wanted a day to prove that the voice recorded by RAB was not her.

Deputy Director of RAB-3 Squadron Leader Khaled Shams said they found that the woman took Tk 40,000 per head from three people.

Shahabuddin Manik, a printing trader, admitted that he gave Tk 40,000 to the woman, as she promised to manage the admission of his child in the school.
