‘Sexual Harassment’: Headteacher confined for three hours in Ctg
A high school teacher in Chattogram, who earlier remained suspended for five years for sexually harassing female students, yesterday faced the wrath of students and guardians for alleged similar offences.
The accused -- Md Alauddin -- is the headteacher of Kapasgola City Corporation Girls High School, which runs under the supervision of Chattogram City Corporation authorities.
Several students and guardians kept him confined to his office room for around three hours. They also formed a human chain in front of the school, demanding his removal. Later, Alauddin left the school under police protection, said witnesses.
Talking to The Daily Star, many students and guardians alleged that Alauddin had sexually harassed students many times in the past. Even the city corporation authorities suspended him from his job for five years since 2013, as the authorities found evidence of sexual harassment against him.
After the five-year suspension, Alauddin rejoined the school and kept harassing the students, claimed a guardian. A guardian recently filed a complaint against him with the city corporation authorities but to no avail.
Local ward councillor Noor Mostafa rushed to the spot and announced to take legal action against the teacher. He told The Daily Star last evening that he will be suspended again.
Talking to journalists, the teacher, however, denied the allegations and said a vested quarter is conspiring against him.
