It is learned that two scoundrels named Zahid and Sagar were peeking through the toilet near the common room of the madrasa girls on Sunday afternoon. When the teachers of the madrasa came to know about the incident, Sagar fled between the two and took Zahid to the office room. Later, Zahid tried to flee from the police and the madrasa president after hearing about it. But as he was fleeing, the students caught him. Later, one of his elder brothers named Sujan abducted Zahid.

When Nazrul Islam and Munnaf Tiffin, the teachers of the madrasa, went to offer prayers on Monday afternoon, they reached the community clinic between Rehabilitation Number One and Number Two.

Maulana Abdul Quddus, superintendent of Sirajkandi Dakhil Madrasa, said, “I went to Bhuapur to work on the madrasa in the morning. Suddenly around noon, I heard that Maulana Nazrul Islam, a Maulvi teacher of the madrasa, had been beaten by some scoundrels with an iron rod and a cricket stamp.

He was later rescued and admitted to Bhuapur Upazila Health Complex. In this incident, me and all the teachers of the madrasa are suffering from insecurity. Can attack us at any time. The case is being prepared. I demand exemplary punishment for the talented boys involved in this incident.
