Detective branch of police on Wednesday arrested a teacher of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College, who was fired by the authorities on Tuesday, on charge of raping a class X student.
The arrested, Porimol Joydhor, 30, was a teacher of Bangla department of the school's Bashundhara campus.
A team of detectives led by assistant commissioner Golam Mosatafa Russel arrested Porimol from one of his relatives' house at the city's suburban Keraniganj area on Wednesday morning, deputy commissioner of detective branch Monirul Islam told reporters at a press conference after producing the teacher there.
Porimol, however, refused to talk with the journalists at the press conference.
Monirul Islam said that the teacher had abused the girl sexually confining her in a room of his house twice and videoed those in his cellular phone.
'Porimol had harassed the girl sexually at different times after blackmailing her while she went to his residence for tuition. We have arrested him in the face of protest by the school students and their parents and reports published about him in different dailies,' he said.
Porimol, who qualified in the BCS-29 admin cadre, after completing his graduation and post-graduation from Bangabandhu College in Tungipara of Gopalganj district, went into hiding after the victim's family filed a case with Badda police station under Women and Children Repression Prevention Act on July 5.
Monirul Islam said that they would produce the arrested teacher in court on Thursday seeking remand for interrogation to unearth the details and his accomplices.
On Tuesday, two other teachers of the same campus of the school— Barun Chandra Barman of commerce department and Abdul Kalam Azad of religion — were also suspended for their indecent behaviour with students.
Porimol is a married person and he has a three-year old son, DB DC Monirul said. Porimol hails from Tungipara of Gopalganj district.
Talking to reporters after a meeting of the school governing body, Husne Ara Begum, principal of the school, said on Tuesday that they had dismissed Porimol on allegation of violating a girl and suspended two other teachers for their indecent behaviour with students.
The victim's father filed the case with Badda Police Station, accusing Porimol Joydhor, the school's Bashundhara branch chief Lutfur Rahman, and college principal Husne Ara.
In the complaint, he mentioned that Porimol, who runs a coaching centre at his Badda residence, first raped his daughter on May 28.
Asked about the inclusion of Lutfur Rahman and Husne Ara in the case, sub-inspector Ali Haider Sharif of Badda police station told New Age that they were implicated in the case by the victim's father as they did not take any action, not even lodging complaints with the school authorities.
As she went to the coaching centre one morning, Porimol told her to go to another room, the complainant said, adding he locked the door and sexually assaulted her. Porimol violated her once again on June 17.
