Police said, the six individuals were arrested for appearing and assisting as proxy candidates during the written examination held at the police lines in Sirajganj town on Tuesday for Trainee Recruit Constable (TRC) post of Police in Sirajganj.

The arrested were sent to jail on Wednesday after they were produced before a court in Sirajganj.

During a preliminary interrogation, the arrested confessed that, they were engaged in such manipulation in exchange of big sum of money realized from the genuine candidates. Three of them directly took part in the written examination as proxy and three others were engaged in providing various other supports to them.
