The education ministry in November ordered the school to close down after allegations that it was harbouring militancy and inspiring extremism surfaced. Education ministry staffer Nasir Uddin and Lakehead Grammar School owner Khaled Hasan Matin were detained in Gulshan around the same time. Detective Branch Joint Commissioner Abdul Baten said Motaleb and Nasir were detained on charges of corruption while Khaled was accused of funding militancy. An education ministry official told bdnews24.com Motaleb and Nasir had been working in favour of the school after getting a ‘large amount of money’ from the institution’s authorities. The ministry will take action accordingly,” Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said on Monday.
