Member of Parliament Principal Selim Bhuiyan from Cumilla-2 entered an SSC examination center in Homna upazila and broadcasted a Facebook Live during the ongoing exam on Tuesday morning. The incident took place at a government high school, drawing widespread criticism for breaching examination rules. Despite strict security and restrictions, the MP entered the center and streamed the environment and activities inside, asking students about the exam’s difficulty and their performance.

Parents and students reported feeling disturbed, claiming the live broadcast distracted examinees and wasted valuable time. One guardian said the MP streamed for about ten minutes, which disrupted students’ concentration. Education officials noted that such actions violated ministry guidelines prohibiting unauthorized entry and the use of digital devices inside exam centers.

Local administrators confirmed that only designated teachers and the center secretary are allowed inside, and even they must use analog devices. MP Bhuiyan later said he visited to check on students’ well-being and was unaware that livestreaming was not permitted.
