The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has temporarily suspended Md. Mehtab Kayes, an Assistant Maintenance Engineer at the Directorate of Primary Education, for publishing the Primary Scholarship Examination 2025 results without prior authorization. According to a ministry circular issued on Friday, the suspension took effect on July 9, 2026, under the Government Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 2018.

The ministry stated that the results were finalized on July 8, and Kayes was instructed to upload them only after formal approval. However, on the morning of July 9, he uploaded results from nine districts of the Dhaka division to the official website, which briefly went live and allowed users to view and share the results on social media.

A three-member investigation committee, led by Director of Planning and Development Md. Mirajul Islam Ukil, has been formed to probe the incident and submit a report within three working days. The premature leak has sparked discussion and criticism among parents and stakeholders.
