Authorities of Binodpur Degree College in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabgnaj district yesterday decided to suspend a teacher as publication of a video footage of his illicit act with a former female student of the college created commotion among the students and locals. Earlier on the day, hundreds of students, guardians and people of Binodpur village staged demonstration and confined college Principal Ruhul Amin to his office demanding punishment of the offender, Abdul Latif, assistant professor of chemistry department of Binodpur Degree College. Police and locals said Abdul Latif took video footage of his illicit act with a girl student of the college in his mobile phone in 2007. Later the girl got married with a schoolteacher of the same upazila and had a child. As Abdul Latif's mobile phone recently went out of order, he gave it to a service centre at Binodpur Bazar for repair but technicians of the centre copied the obscene scene and sent it to a number of mobile phone users. Seeing the video footage on Friday, the girl's husband got furious and sent her to her parent's house. As the news spread, students of Binodpur Degree College and their guardians encircled the office of principal and kept him confined there from 10:00am to 12:00pm demanding punishment of Abdul Latif. Informed, police rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control. The college authority at an emergency meeting decided to suspend the offender teacher. The final decision would be taken in the meeting of the college governing body on Monday, said Principal Ruhul Amin. Meantime, Abdul Latif left the area and he could not be contacted as his mobile phone was turned off. Shibganj police station Officer-in-Charge Anwar Hossain said legal action will be taken after talking with the victim woman.
