An allegation of molesting a class 5 child in Natore's Baraigram has been filed against school office-turned-night watchman Nuruzzaman.
Nuruzzaman is the son of Lilu Mia, a brave freedom fighter from Joari area of Upazila.
The victim's family and the school teachers said that on November 4, Daptari Nuruzzaman found the child alone and molested the child when he came to the school. When the child went home after school and told his mother, they informed the school teacher and authorities and demanded justice for the incident.
Sajal Kumar, assistant teacher of the school said, I have spoken to the victim and the accused, and the truth of the incident has been found. However, as the head teacher was in training, I could not take necessary legal action in this regard. I told him when I came to school on Thursday.
When accused Nuruzzaman was asked, he admitted his mistake and said, "I will not do this kind of work again, I am trying to solve it socially, maybe it will be solved." Later he tried to manage the journalists by banning them from broadcasting the news.
Head teacher Khodeja Begum said, I came to school today and heard everything. Necessary measures will be taken by talking to the higher authorities in this regard.
Upazila Education Officer. Mizanur Rahman said, if the headmaster makes a written complaint to me, necessary action will be taken.
Upazila Nirbahi officer Laila Jannatul Ferdous said that if the children are not safe from the teachers and staff of the school, it will create a scary situation. We will investigate and take maximum punishment.
