Police have detained three agents of bKash, a mobile banking service, for transacting money on behalf of a syndicate involved in HSC question paper leak, reports bdnews24.com.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police Joint Commissioner Monirul Islam said 'Kalam', 'Faruk' and 'Hira' were picked up from Demra in the early hours of Tuesday.

On July 15, police picked up six persons, including Raihan Chowdhury alias 'Dan Brown', from the same area in connection with the question paper leak.

The police official added they picked up the trio based on information provided by Chowdhury.

"Although they are originally bKash agents, they had opened a lot of fake accounts using which those involved in question paper leak circulated funds," Islam said at a press briefing.

"We have information that around Tk 2 to Tk 2.5 million collected by selling questions was circulated through those accounts."
