Earlier, the authorities formed a three-member investigation committee to look into the incident.
On that day, agitated locals gathered at the school and waged a violent protest after the rumour of a Hindu teacher beating up 16-18 female students of eighth, ninth and 10th grades for wearing hijab spread like a wildfire.
Mizanur Rahman, upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) of Mohadevpur, said that the assistant headmistress and another teacher Badiul Alam had beaten up both male and female students for not wearing school dress. One of the girls was a Hindu.
“But the incident later appeared to have led to the hijab controversy,” he added.
