Entertainment Report :
Noted actress and Member of the Parliament Suborna Mustafa
protested the reported harassment of a female college teacher for wearing
a ‘teep’ (bindi) by a policeman in the capital. “Where in the Constitution, which law of Bangladesh says that a woman cannot wear a teep?” Suborna asked after taking the floor of the ongoing session of the Parliament on Sunday. Suborna called the incident “a shameful display of eve-teasing
by a member of a law enforcement agency” and also demanded action against the policeman involved. According to reports, Lata Samaddar, a lecturer in Tejgaon College’s Department of Theatre and Media Studies, was on her way to work when she was reportedly verbally abused for wearing a ‘teep’ on her forehead by a policeman at 8:30am
on Saturday. After she protested, the policeman threatened to run her over with his motorbike, she alleged.
Lata Samaddar filed a complaint
with the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in this regard mentioning
that the incident happened in front
of Shezan Point shopping mall in
the capital’s Farmgate area.
