A teacher at Nripendra Narayan Government High School in Debiganj upazila of Panchagarh has been accused of leaking tenth-grade half-yearly exam questions before the test. The assistant English teacher, Mahadev Roy, allegedly sent the English first paper question to a student via WhatsApp. When reporters visited the school on Wednesday morning, the distributed exam question matched exactly with the screenshot in their possession.

According to school sources, Mahadev Roy prepared the question paper as per school rules, which require subject teachers to set, print, and seal their own exam questions before submitting them to the acting head teacher. The sealed envelopes are opened only at the start of the exam. The acting head teacher, G.M. Ruhul Amin, confirmed awareness of the allegation and said an internal investigation would be conducted. Debiganj Upazila Executive Officer Indrajit Saha and the Rangpur regional deputy director of secondary education, Rokhsana Begum, also stated that investigations and necessary actions would follow.

The teacher had previously faced allegations of forcing students to attend his private coaching classes, which had drawn media attention earlier.
