Students forced to buy lottery tickets

Authorities of Domar High School compelled every student to purchase at least two lottery tickets in the name of raffle draw during the sports competition on Saturday.

Teachers, with backing of the headmaster, lured students to buy tickets with chance of getting prizes.

Headmaster Rabiul Alam said it was not a lottery and the money left after giving prizes would be utilised for betterment of students.

Upazila Education Officer Sakerina Begum said arranging such a raffle draw is not permitted, and the school authorities did not inform her about the matter.

President of the school managing committee Aktaruzzaman Sumon told journalists not to poke their noses in the matter.
