Local residents caught headmaster Mujibur Rahman of Amtoli Fedu Sheikh High School in Manikganj’s Doulatpur upazila together with a school ayah, over an allegation of an improper relationship, and handed the pair over to police. They were caught inside the school building around 7am last Friday (August 14). Once the incident became known, it caused widespread commotion in the school and surrounding area.
According to local sources, headmaster Mujibur Rahman had long been involved in an improper relationship with a part-time ayah working at the same school. That morning, the headmaster and the ayah entered the school together. Suspicious, several locals followed them, and on finding the two together inside the school building, surrounded them before handing them over to police.
Bazlu, a local resident who witnessed the incident, said: “The conduct of the headmaster and the ayah had seemed suspicious to us for a long time. Seeing them enter the school together that morning, several of us followed them. When we found them together inside the building, we detained them and called the police.” Another local resident, Motaleb Hossain, expressed anger, saying: “If a responsible person like a headmaster shows this kind of moral failing, what will students learn from him? We demand strict, exemplary punishment for this teacher.”
Doulatpur police station’s OC, Swapan Kumar Sarkar, said police were sent to the scene on receiving the report, and that legal action would follow an investigation if a written complaint is filed.
