The incident came to light Thursday night when relatives of the 11-year-old girl filed a case against Ramjan Ali Mollah with Sailkupa Police Station. Police said Ramjan, an assistant teacher of Bahadurpur Non-government Primary School, ordered the girl to bring a glass of water in the library room about 2:00pm on June 14.
