According to court sources, the seven defendants who agreed to give confessional statements are PSC chairman's former chauffeur Abed Ali, PSC despatch writer Khalilur Rahman and office assistant Sajedul Islam, businessmen Md Sohel, Sakhawat Hossain and Sayem Hossain and a private university student Liton Sarkar.

The 10 accused who were sent to jail are Abed Ali's son Syed Sohanur Rahman Siam, PSC Deputy Directors Abu Zafar and Jahangir Alam, Assistant Director Alamgir Kabir Noman Siddique, Auditor Priyanath Roy, Passport and Immigration official Mamunur Rashid, Narayanganj passport office security guard Shahadat Hossain, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital technicians Niamul Hasan and Zahidul Islam.

According to the case statement, an organised gang leaked the question papers before the Railway Sub Assistant Engineer recruitment exam held under PSC on 5 July.

The PSC formed a three-member committee led by PSC Joint Secretary Abdul Alim Khan to probe question paper leaks.
