Madrasa boy caned by teacher, hospitalised
Severely caned by his teacher, a 12-year-old madrasa student is now undergoing treatment at a medical facility in Ishwarganj upazila.
The injured boy, Nejamul Haque, is a resident student of Najera grade (equivalent to grade two) at Maizhati Shahganj Darul Ulum Qawmi Madrasa. His father is farmer Mujibur Rahman from Maizhati village in the upazila.
Quoting Nejamul’s father, Ishwarganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Ahmed Kabir Hossain said on Saturday morning, his son’s teacher Al Amin became highly infuriated with Nejamul after he denied his alleged misbehaviour with another student.
The teacher at one stage started hitting the boy with a cane despite his repeated request for mercy, the OC said quoting classmates of Nejamul.
Neighbours came to the boy’s rescue after hearing his cry for help and learning of the incident, his family members soon arrived at the madrasa and admitted him to Ishwarganj Upazila Health Complex.
Towfiqul Islam, headteacher of the madrasa, said a teacher cannot subject a student to such brutal torture.
Nejamul’s father filed a case with the police station accusing Al Amin yesterday, but he went into hiding since the incident, said Sub-Inspector Marfat Ali, investigation officer of the case.
Contacted, Dr Dhrubajit Debnath, emergency medical officer at the health complex, said the boy sustained injury from severe beating in his back and they were administering medication necessary for healing.
