A mobile court sentenced a madrasa teacher to one year imprisonment in Sadar upazila yesterday for arranging fake students for primary terminal examination. The convict was Md. Habibur Rahman, acting superintendent of Mohammadpur Madrasa. District Primary Education Officer Toufiquzzaman told this correspondent over cell phone that Executive Magistrate Safiqul Islam held two students Md. Ripon and Mehedi Hasan of Class-III of Matrigaon Government Primary School under Sadar upazila at Gilabari High School examination centre under the same upazila during his visit for their suspicious appearances. The two boys later confessed that Habibur Rahman brought them to the centre to sit for the examinations of two other students of his madrasa.
