A Bagerhat court sentenced the superintendent of a madrasa to life term for raping a class 5 student in Sharankhola upazila.
Judge of Bagerhat Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-2 as well as District and Sessions Court Noor-e- Alam passed the order this afternoon, reports our local correspondent quoting Ranjit Kumar Mandal, a lawyer at the court.
The convict, Elias Hossain Jomaddar (47), will serve one more year of rigorous imprisonment in case of not paying Tk 20,000 fine.
The superintendent of Uttor Khontakata Rashidia Satantra Ebtedayi Madrasa raped one of the students on August 8 last year, according to the case statement.
Elias raped the child when she along with three other students went to take Arabic lessons from him on the day of the incident. He also threatened the child to not say anything about it.
As the child was bleeding, her parents admitted her to a clinic in Morelganj upazila. On August 19, her father filed a case with Sharankhola Police Station in this regard.
On September 14 of 2019, PBI took over the case. On October 18 of the same year, PBI arrested Elias and handed him over to the court. On November 13, the investigating officer of the case submitted the charge sheet to the court. After taking the testimony of eight witnesses and hearing arguments of both sides, the court fixed today as the date for announcing the verdict in the case.
