An examination center in Charfassion, Bhola, was vandalized on Saturday after students were denied the opportunity to cheat during the ICT exam. Following the test, over a hundred students from Charfassion Government College reportedly broke the main gate of Fatema Matin Mohila College and smashed the windows of the principal’s office. Around 10 to 15 people, including the college’s managing committee president and staff, were injured. Police later fired tear shells to bring the situation under control.

According to sources, a total of 884 students sat for the exam at the center. The principal of Fatema Matin Mohila College, Mohiuddin Bacchu, said some students demanded permission to cheat during the multiple-choice section, which was refused under examination rules. Angered by this, they launched the attack after the exam. The college’s managing committee president, Sikdar Humayun Kabir, was injured by a brick. He also claimed that outsiders joined the assault.

Upazila Executive Officer Rumana Afroze confirmed that the situation is now under control and normal, noting that the incident stemmed from frustration over difficult questions and the prohibition of cheating.
