According to sources, clever Syed Abed Ali was sacked after failing the written exam for the post of 'Assistant Maintenance Engineer' of the non-cadre Ministry of Information and Communication Technology held on April 22, 2014.

Syed Abed Ali was then caught red-handed with answers to related questions illegally supplied from outside the hall by an examinee. In view of that incident, a case was filed under the appropriate law. There is evidence that Syed Abed Ali was actively involved in the investigation of that case. In view of this, he was dismissed from the job. According to the PSC report, Syed Abed Ali is notorious for many illegal activities and is involved in habitual misdeeds.

Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested 17 people, including former PSC driver Syed Abed Ali, in connection with the Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) question leak.

Among those arrested are PSC deputy director Md. Abu Jafar and Md. Jahangir Alam, Assistant Director Alamgir Kabir, Office Assistant Khalilur Rahman and Office Assistant (Despatch) Sajedul Islam.
