A madrasa teacher in Godagari, Rajshahi, has been accused of severely beating a 13-year-old student, breaking his teeth and injuring his chest. The incident occurred in the Railbazar area at Darus Sunnah Islamia Hafizia Madrasa, where the student, Jubayer Hossain, is a resident pupil. He is currently receiving treatment at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. The accused teacher, Yasin Ali, has been absent from the institution since the incident.

Local residents expressed anger over the assault, with a group of youths visiting the madrasa to protest and warning of locking the institution if justice is not served. Jubayer’s mother, Fatema Begum, described that the teacher allegedly grabbed her son by the neck and slapped him, causing him to hit a wall and lose part of a tooth. She demanded justice for the attack. The madrasa’s governing body president, Saiful Islam, said he had previously warned teachers against such behavior and promised proper action.

Police confirmed awareness of the incident but said no formal complaint had yet been filed. They stated that legal measures would follow upon receiving a complaint.
