A teacher has been accused of raping a tenth grade student in a case filed against him in Thakurgaon’s Baliadangi upazila.
The victim’s uncle filed the case against Abdur Rashid, an assistant teacher at Baliadangi Lahiri Dwi-Mukhi High School, on Friday night, according to bdnews24.
Meanwhile, students of the upazila’s various schools formed a human chain at Baliadangi intersection yesterday to press for the teacher’s arrest and threatened of tougher measures if the culprit was not arrested.
Rashid used to teach at a coaching centre near the school. The case filed said Rashid, on Wednesday, asked the victim to come at the coaching centre by 6am and the other students by 7am. Upon her arrival, he molested the student and forcibly took obscene photos of her in his phone. He then forced himself on her, threatening to release the photos on the internet.
The other students due at 7am shortly learned of the incident as they found the girl in tears.
OC Asaduzzaman of Baliadangi police station said the teacher could not yet be arrested as he was on the run.
