A female head teacher in Cumilla was assaulted after a dismissed Awami League leader, accused of obtaining his job through forgery, returned to his workplace and attacked her. The victim, acting head teacher Hasina Islam of Berakhla Abdul Matin Khasru Girls’ High School, filed a case on Monday night against 11 people, including the dismissed teacher Aminul Islam Sujon and his cousin, Jubo Dal leader Sohel Rana. The assault reportedly took place on Sunday morning when the two, accompanied by several supporters, attacked the teacher at her office.

Following the incident, Cumilla South District Jubo Dal issued a show-cause notice to Sohel Rana, accusing him of violating party discipline and engaging in activities contrary to organizational rules. He was instructed to submit a written explanation within three days to the district conveners. Police confirmed that a case had been filed and said efforts to arrest the accused were ongoing.

According to the case details, Sujon had previously been dismissed in 2019 for using fake certificates and falsifying official documents but recently claimed a court ruling allowed him to return to his post, leading to renewed conflict at the school.
