Sources informed that four guardians, along with members of the Tarabari Youth Club, filed a written complaint at Boko police station against Nur Islam, a teacher at the said institution. The complaint accuses Islam of repeated physical harassment of female students over the past few months, allegedly exploiting classroom settings to engage in inappropriate behaviour.

The matter came to light after concerned guardians intervened and raised the issue with local authorities.
