Schoolgirl caned
A schoolgirl was caned allegedly by a teacher in the district on Sunday. Samia Zaman Himi, a class six student at Manikganj Model High School, was treated at a local clinic after the incident. Himi's father filed a complaint to the authorities, demanding action against Abdul Baten, assistant teacher of the school. Classmates Mimta Haque Sarker and Labanya said Himi was beaten up mercilessly when she took water from another classmate without the teacher's permission. Baten said he lashed the girl with cane only once as she was going out from the classroom violating his order. He, however, admitted his mistake and expressed sorrow for the incident.
