The much talked about humiliated Headmaster of a Narayanganj school, Shyamal Kanti Bhakta, was shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Friday for better treatment.
Upon a request by Shyamal’s wife, the administration of 300-bed specialized hospital at Khanpur, Narayanganj shifted him to the DMCH by an ambulance at about 11am. He was admitted there under the care of Medicine Department.
He has been reportedly suffering from pain in his whole body. “I feel pain and unease,” Shyamal Kanti told the journalists, sitting in his bed at DMCH.
Dr Sohel Rana, DMCH Emergency Unit’s Medical Officer, told media that the teacher was complaining of dizziness and chest pain.
Meanwhile, about 10 policemen from Shahbagh Police Station had been posted at the gates of his ward. “We are here to look after his safety,” said Sub-Inspector Arefin, who was on duty.
Regarding his reinstatement as Headmaster of Piyar Sattar Latif High School in Narayanganj district, he said that he had not yet received any formal notification in this regard. Nonetheless, he thanked the government and others for helping him get his job back.
On May 13, Shyamal, Headmaster of Piyar Sattar Latif High School, at Bandar Upazila in Narayanganj, was beaten and squat and standing holding his ears in presence of local MP AKM Selim Osman and a large number of local people on the charge of passing remarks, hurting religious sentiments.
Later, the school managing committee sacked him also. The incident angered the university teachers and students, the press and the government.
The High Court on last Wednesday issued a rule upon the government to show cause as to why legal action should not be taken against local MP Selim Osman and others who were present when the headmaster was humiliated.
