Teacher assaulted by guardian, hospitalised
A teacher of Bhanga Pilot High School in the district landed in hospital as the father of a student beat him up, apparently to vent his wrath for expelling his son for taking unfair means in the school examination on Wednesday.
The victim, Sarowar Fakir, 32, assistant teacher of the school, filed a case with Bhanga Police Station and police arrested the accused -- Shahid Munshi, 42, a resident of Nurpur area under Bhanga municipality.
“I was on duty during the mathematics test of Class VII from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on Wednesday. I expelled Sohanur Munshi as he was coping in the examination,” Sarowar said.
“Later when I was coming out from the room, Sohanur indicated me to his father Shahid Munshi. Then Shahid beat me on the head, nose and mouth and ran away when my colleagues came to the spot. My colleagues took me to upazila health complex.”
The injured teacher was shifted to Faridpur Medical College Hospital for better treatment on Thursday noon, said Khalilur Rhaman, upazila health and family planning officer of Bhanga.
Kazi Saidur Rhaman, officer in charge of Bhanga Police Station, said, “The victim teacher filed a case on Wednesday night and we arrested accused Shahid Munshi, 42, the same night. He was produced before a court today [Thursday] and the court sent him to jail.”
Haider Hossen, headmaster of Bhanga Pilot High School, said, “We demand punishment of the offender.”
