Teacher dismissed in Faridpur after inappropriate video with student

A part-time assistant teacher, Nazrul Islam, has been dismissed from Bhanga Government Pilot High School in Faridpur following the circulation of an inappropriate video involving a 15-year-old female student.

The incident reportedly occurred at a private coaching center operated by Islam in the Courtpara area of Bhanga town, rather than on school grounds. A 54-second video surfaced on social media showing the teacher embracing and kissing the tenth-grade student in front of a whiteboard.

School authorities stated that disciplinary action began before the video went viral. Islam was initially suspended on October 19, and following an investigation that confirmed the allegations, he was permanently dismissed on October 29. The headmaster, Mohammad Haider Hossain, confirmed the dismissal to maintain the school's moral environment and reputation. Local officials have described the conduct as reprehensible.
