I do not normally write back. I am pleased to se this newsletter asking the media to expose corrupt peple and practices. I hope we do that for all politicians, civil servants or whenever. Better still create a facebook or other forum to expose corruption in Bangladesh.

Detectives Sunday night arrested an 10-man gang that includes a Anti-Corruption Commission official for being involved in hi-tech fraudulent activities in the admission tests of different public universities.
"They used to send answers to multiple-choice questions via SMS to some of the admission seekers," said Mashiur Rahman, additional deputy commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) of Police, at a press conference in the DB headquarters.
Mafizur Rahman Mafiz, an assistant inspector of ACC, was arrested along with nine others who are students of Dhaka, Jahangirnagar and Jagannath universities in connection with the hi-tech admission fraud, he added.
Mashiur said the people worked in three teams under the leadership of Mafizur.
One team worked with the invigilators of different universities who handed the question papers to them immediately after the exams started.
Another team comprising skilled students of different universities was set to work on solving the questions.
The third team used to send the answers of multiple choice questions to the candidates who are appearing at the admission test via SMS.
These people used hi-tech mobile device that looked like wrist watch and worn by their selected candidates to receive the answers of questions.
All these came out when DB police arrested one Sazzad Hossain on October 19 and rescued a kidnapped candidate Harunur Rashid Hira who failed to pay his agreed upon money of Tk 1.2 lakh.
Following the information extracted from Sazzad, DB police made the arrests.
In primary interrogation, the arrestees revealed the names of some teachers and officials of different universities who helped them carrying out their activities.
Police also recovered 120 pieces of watch-like mobile devices that the gang imported from China for this purpose.
