In a shocking incident in Satkhira, a schoolteacher was beaten and paraded in the marketplace by BNP activists over allegations of misconduct with a female student. Assistant teacher Shafiqul Islam filed a complaint with Satkhira Sadar Police, accusing local BNP leaders of storming into his school with rods, hammers, and bamboo sticks. “They dragged me out of the office, assaulted me, and forced me into the street while recording videos. Later, they detained me at the union council office and beat me again,” Shafiqul said in his complaint. The school’s headteacher alleged that Shafiqul had given private lessons to a female student in a classroom for over 30 minutes on a holiday, which sparked the accusations. However, Shafiqul claimed the attack was politically motivated.
