Students of Kittania Para High School under Sadar upazila yesterday formed a human chain on Nilphamari-Deviganj Road protesting assault on their teacher by goons allegedly led by a former student who was expelled from the school for misconduct. The students stood by the roadside for about an hour carrying banners and festoons. Headmaster of the school Nazrul Islam told newsmen that assistant teacher Bhupoti Bhushon came under attack when he was returning home after school hours on Saturday afternoon. Seriously injured Bhupoti was taken to the union health centre for treatment. The students staged a two-hour road blockade at the same spot earlier on Monday demanding arrest and punishment to the culprits.
