A Dhaka court on Tuesday placed Murad Hossain Sarkar, a senior teacher of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College's Azimpur branch, on two-day remand in a case lodged for allegedly sexually harassing a student, reports BSS.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Zaki-Al-Farabi passed the order as police produced Murad before the court and pleaded to place him on seven-day remand.

The school authorities from an emergency meeting on Monday suspended Murad Hossain Sarkar. He was withdrawn from his regular duty at the day-shift of the Azimpur Branch and was attached to the principal's office as the allegations against him surfaced on February 24.
