Online Desk: A case has been filed against Khondker Mushtaque Ahmed, member of the governing body of Motijheel Ideal School and College who married a student of Class XI of the same institution.
The victim’s father Md Saiful Islam lodged the case bringing an allegation to rape his daughter convincing her. Mushtaque Ahmed has been made the prime accused in the case.
The college Principal Fauzia Rashedi is the another accused. Omar Farruq, lawyer of the plaintiff, confirmed the matter on Thursday. He said a case petition in this regard was filed on August 1 with the court of Dhaka Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-8. After recording deposition, the tribunal ordered Gulshan Police Station OC to take it as regular case.
Khondker Mushtaque married Ideal student Sinthia Islam in March last. Sinthia’s age is now 18 years 4 months. On June 22 last, Sinthia’s father filed an abduction case against Mushtaque in Thakurgaon district.
As several video clips involving him were uploaded to social media, it was heard from a conversation that a woman was crying sitting in a private car. She was requesting a man again and again to drop her from the car, saying, “I have classes. Please let me go. Please drop me here. I can’t miss the class. Please.” However, all her requests went in vein.
Instead, the man started using harsh language toward the woman. “You must talk to me in right ways. You try to study properly, you are spoiling your life.” It is learnt that the woman in the video was Motijheel Ideal School and College’s Class XI student Sinthia Islam, while the man was the governing body member Khondker Mushtaque Ahmed. It had created strong resentment among guardians.
A press release issued by the Guardians Forum of Ideal School and College, and signed by its general secretary Rustam Ali on June 1 last said Ideal School and College’s governing body member sexagenarian Khondker Mushtaque Ahmed maintained ‘unethical relation’ with 17-year-old student of the college branch. At one stage, Mushtaque was compelled to marry the girl under pressure from guardians. It was his third marriage.
