Police find evidence of sexual harassment against Viqarunnisa teacher

Police have found evidence of sexual harassment of students against Murad Hossain Sarker, a senior teacher of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College's Azimpur branch.

"Murad Hossain used to sexually harass the victim student at his coaching centre. Evidence of harassment was found through analysing various sources, including mobile phones and laptops which were seized during his arrest," DMP Additional Commissioner Dr Kha Mahid Uddin told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.

The official said proof of inappropriate conversations with several female students was also found in multiple audio recordings.

Murad was arrested from his Kalabagan residence in the city on 27 February in connection with a case filed with the Lalbagh thana and was placed on a two-day remand on that day.

The authorities of the Viqarunnisa Noon School and College have already suspended Murad Hossain, a mathematics teacher of the institution, following the allegation.

Mother of a victim student on Monday filed a case with Lalbagh thana against Murad Hossain for allegedly sexually harassing her daughter.

The case statement said the teacher sexually abused the student on March 10 last year and many other days when she used to go for coaching classes held by him.
