Court relieves Salim Osman of teacher humiliation case

A court discharged on Tuesday Jatiya Party lawmaker AKM Salim Osman from a case filed over humiliating school teacher Shyamol Kanti Bhakta in public in Narayanganj in 2016, reports UNB.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Dr AKM Emdadul Haque of Dhaka passed the order after hearing a discharge petition filed by Salim's lawyer Mohamamd Ashraful as the court "found no ground" to frame charges against him.

The court indicted another accused Mohammad Opu as the charge brought against him of assaulting the headmaster physically was proved.

On May in 2016, Shyamol Kanti, headmaster of Piyar Sattar Latif High School in Narayanganj, was humiliated and forced to squat holding his ears in presence of local Jatiya Party MP Salim Osman.
