Dhaka: The High Court (HC) on Sunday directed the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Dhaka to resolve, according to rule of law, the General Diary (GD) filed over the humiliation of a teacher in Narayanganj.

A two‐member HC bench comprising Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice JBM Hassan passed the order after the hearing of a suo motu notice.

The court also ordered the authorities concerned to send the files of the GD and the judicial inquiry report to the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Dhaka.

On Thursday, the judicial probe body, formed to look into the humiliation of headmaster Shyamal Kanti Bhakta in Narayanganj, submitted their report to the HC blaming local MP AKM Salim Osman for the incident.

In the 65‐page report, Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sheikh Hafizur Rahman, the only member of the judicial inquiry committee, said the lawmaker ordered the teacher to do sit‐ups holding his earlobes following the demand of the local people.

He said the probe report was prepared after talking to the headmaster, other teachers, the victim student, his mother, local people, and members of law enforcement agencies, and reviewing audio and video clips.

In its report, the probe panel said it found the proof that Shyamal Kanti Bhakta, headmaster of Piyar Sattar Latif High School in Bandar upazila of Narayanganj, indiscriminately beat Class‐X student Rifat Hasan on 8 May last year.

It was also proved that a group of 10‐12 people, led by Apu, son of local resident Shamsul Haque, stormed the school conference room on 13 May while a managing committee meeting was in progress and beat the headmaster.

It, however, said the probe committee did not find the authentication of the allegation that the headmaster made any disparaging remarks about Islam and Allah.
