Sobuj Mia, father of football star Taslima, says he is satisfied that justice has been served after the school teacher accused of assaulting him was suspended from the institution.
“Although I was hurt, I don't feel bad after getting justice,” he told the Dhaka Tribune on Sunday.
The 40-year-old was allegedly physically assaulted by Taslima's school teacher Jubed Talukdar and his men at Mohilla Market in Kolshindur on September 7 after she had refused to attend a school match.
Sobuj said: “Police visited me because of the pressure from higher ups. I went with them. They recorded my statement and ensured justice. The person who was at fault has been suspended.”
Stating that he was happy after getting justice, he requested that the school and the players should not be harmed. “I do not hold anything against anyone anymore.”

Bangladesh U-16 women’s team has emerged unbeaten champions of Group C of the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Qualifiers. Taslima is the goalkeeper.
The Under-16 girls would be honoured at a programme on September 17 in Dhaka, but Jubed asked Taslima and some other players to attend a school match instead.
The players declined participation citing busy schedule. Jubed lost his temper and hurled abuse at the players and parents alike. He also had heated arguments with the parents.
Later that evening, he and his men assaulted Sobuj and reportedly threatened to kill him.
Sobuj filed a case and the school committee subsequently suspended Jubayed on September 8.
