Abed Ali alias Jibon: A regular chauffeur or a millionaire?
A recent investigation by a private media outlet uncovered a scandal involving leaked question papers for 30 recruitment exams, including the BCS.
The report revealed that a syndicate of six officials and employees of the PSC had been involved in leaking exam questions for a long time.
One of the accused is Syed Abed Ali alias Jibon, the PSC chairman's former chauffeur. Despite being a chauffeur, Abed Ali, a resident of Dasar Upazila in Madaripur district, has amassed a fortune worth millions, according to a report by Channel 24.
Social media users are now questioning how a chauffeur could accumulate such wealth.
