Five coaching centres defying government's ban in the city's Farmgate area during the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations were sealed off on Sunday.
A mobile court of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) carried out the raid and sentenced eight persons to one month's jail each. Executive magistrate of RAB-2 Sarwar Alam sealed off Onanya, Blaze, Nabadiganta Academy, Moy Dick and Joy Jatra coaching centres during a drive in Sunday morning.
Owners of the coaching centres were running business by hanging a "closed" sign on the main gates, Executive Magistrate Sarwar Alam said.
