The detainee, Sohag Hossain, recently passed honours from the Department of Finance and Banking of Chittagong University.
"While verifying relevant documents, college teachers found Sohag Hossain was a fake examinee and handed him over to police," said Professor Salma Rahman, vice principal of the Mahila College.
A general diary was filed with Khulshi Police Station in this connection, she added.
"As the college authority did not file a case against the alleged proxy examinee, we released him after taking a bond," said Mohammad Iqbal, sub inspector of Khulshi Police Station.
Regarding the matter, Vice Principal Salma Rahman said, "We talked to the National University exam controller over the issue. As per their advice, we filed a GD with the police station. Now, the national university will take further action. If they decide, the GD will become a lawsuit then."
