Verdict on Nov 25

The judgment in the case filed over violating a class-X girl of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College, Bashundhara branch in 2011, will be delivered on November 25.

After completion of arguments from the prosecution and the defence, a Dhaka court yesterday set the date while lone accused Porimol Joydhor, also a sacked teacher of the institution, was in the dock.

Victim's father filed the case against Porimol, the then  principal Husne Ara Begum and chief of the school's Bashundhara branch Lutfur Rahman on July 5, 2011.

According to the case statement, Porimol, a Bangla teacher, violated the student at his coaching centre in the city's Badda twice. Husne Ara and Lutfur were discharged by the court during the charge hearing. The 59-year-old school plunged into trouble after the incident which sparked protests among students and guardians.
