Bangla Press Desk: A court has denied bail to Md. Moslem Uddin, a madrasa teacher arrested on charges of sexually abusing a 6-year-old child in Tongi, Gazipur.
On Sunday, a bail application for the teacher was submitted to the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Omar Haider in Gazipur.
Following the hearing, the court rejected the bail plea.
The teacher was apprehended by local residents—who also beat him—after he was accused of sexually abusing a 6-year-old child. The incident took place at the Qari-ul-Quran International Madrasa in the Auchpara area of Tongi.
Following a case filed by the child’s father, the teacher was formally arrested and produced before the court last Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Maulana Qari Md. Almas Hossain, the founder of the madrasa, has filed a separate case at the Tongi West Police Station, alleging that the institution was attacked and vandalized, money was stolen, and teachers were assaulted.
The police state that they have found preliminary evidence supporting the allegations of sexual abuse at the madrasa. The child’s statement has already been recorded by the court.
