A college teacher was assaulted allegedly by a local Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leader inside the classroom at Government Barisal College on Sunday.
The accused JCD leader is Rafiqul Islam Tipu, convener of the JCD unit of the college.
According to victim Sanjib Kumar, a guest teacher of accounting, said Tipu entered his classroom and started to scold a girl.
“He attacked me when I tried to stop him,” Sanjib said.
It is unclear why the JCD leader was scolding the girl.
Latifa Begum, secretary of the college’s teachers’ council, said they had heard about the incident.
“The college authorities will decide whether any legal action will be taken,” she said.
