Mob beats up madrasa teacher for molesting male student
Angry locals beat up a madrasa teacher and handed him over to the police in Paikpara of the capital's Mirpur on Tuesday night for molesting a 10-year-old male student.
Police produced Zakir Hossain, 40, a teacher of Madrasatul Ahbad, before the court after he confessed to the offence during preliminary interrogation. The court later sent him to jail.
According to the police, locals entered the madrasa and beat up Zakir after the victim informed his parents about the teacher's sexual infliction on him.
Zakir had held the victim hostage in an empty room of the madrasa on Tuesday evening, police said.
“He also admitted to have sodomised another 12-year-old student of the institution earlier,” said Kazi Wajed Ali, officer-in-charge of Mirpur Police Station.
The victim's father filed a case against Zakir early yesterday.
Zakir joined the institution as a teacher a few weeks ago, police said.
