Stalked girl to go to school from today

A schoolgirl, who had to stop going to school six months ago for fear of a local criminal, will resume attending her classes after the district administration ordered police to arrest the culprits.

The girl aged about 13, a student of Class VII at Lady Protima Mitra Girls' High School, had to stop going to school as a local youth Hanif Gazi, 22, started stalking her after his proposal for love was refused.

Hanif and his accomplices threatened the girl's family to leave the area if they did not agree to his proposal for marriage.

ADC (Revenue) of Chandpur Md Abdul Hye, along with a team of Chandpur Model Police Station, went to the girl's house yesterday and ordered the law enforcers to arrest Hanif and his cohorts.

Police took an undertaking from Hanif's father Abdur Rahim Gazi that he would ensure that his son would not harass the girl and her family in future.

Md Abdul Hye said the girl can go to school from today.
