THREE officers of the accounts section of the University of Dhaka have blackened the face of the apex university of the country by managing to get one Abdul Alim admitted to the Department of Management Studies in exchange of Tk. 3 lakh. But the head of the said department found discrepancy in the admission which was later cancelled.

Abdul Alim went to said officers and asked for refunding his money. One of the officers caught the student and tried to drag him to a room. At that point reporters of different daily newspapers based in Dhaka University rescued the student and took him to the Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. M.A. Faiz who after a meeting with senior officials assured appropriate action against the persons who were responsible for the abominable act. As per decision of the meeting fact finding committee would start working from Sunday.

Admission to different departments of the university through fraudulent means was detected also before the present incident and the authority cancelled 216 admissions. The fact finding committee hopefully will go deep into it. Other people are sure to be involved in it because three accounts officers alone could not do such a job where a long process is involved. After identifying the culprits no lenience should be shown, they must be brought to book and punished as per the university rules.

This is a very heinous act that they have done. They have shattered people's trust in the university and have deprived some really meritorious students chances of admission to the university whose degree is still rated highest in the country. To protect falling standard of our education, to maintain the past glory and prestige of Dhaka University and give meritorious students opportunity to get admitted, fake admissions must be stopped and the culprits given exemplary punishment.
