A video showing a child being physically and mentally abused inside the office of Sharmin Academy, a school in Dhaka’s Naya Paltan area, went viral on social media, triggering widespread outrage and criticism. Following the public reaction, a case was filed at Paltan Police Station under the Child Rights Act. The school has since suspended its operations. The incident reportedly occurred on January 18, and the video surfaced online several days later.
According to police, the woman seen assaulting the child has been identified as the school’s founder and principal, Sharmin Jahan, while the man present in the room is the school manager, Pabitra Kumar. Both have been named as accused in the case and are currently absconding. Police have launched an operation to arrest them and informed relevant authorities to ensure the child’s safety and mental well-being.
The viral video has reignited public debate on child safety in educational institutions. Social media users have demanded stricter oversight, greater accountability in school management, and exemplary punishment to prevent similar incidents in the future.
