Biman adopts zero tolerance against recruitment malpractice

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on irregularities in recruitment examinations, expelling 13 candidates and handing several over to police for adopting unfair means during a written test held in Dhaka on Friday.

The written examination for the post of Cargo Helper (Casual) was held on September 20 at four venues-BAF Shaheen College, Civil Aviation School and College, Kurmitola High School and College, and Nawab Habibullah Model School and College-from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

According to Biman authorities, 10 candidates were expelled from BAF Shaheen College, one from Civil Aviation School and College, and two from Kurmitola High School and College.

Of them, four were arrested and handed over to police stations concerned, said a Biman press release on Sunday.

A total of seven cases were filed in connection with impersonation, use of fake admit cards, and carrying prohibited electronic devices.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines said it had taken strict legal action in the past in such cases and would continue to do so in the future to ensure transparency and fairness in recruitment.

The airline warned that any malpractice would result in cancellation of candidature and legal proceedings, including police cases.
