DHAKA, July 18, 2022 (BSS) - The High Court (HC) today ordered judicial probe
into the humiliation of Mirzapur United Degree College teacher Swapan Kumar
Biswas in Narail.
A High Court division bench of Justice Bhishmadev Chakrabortty and Justice SM
Maniruzzaman passed the order, asking Narail Chief Judicial Magistrate to
probe the matter within next six weeks. The court also issued a rule in this
regard.
Senior Jurist Advocate ZI Khan Panna and Barrister Anik R Haque moved a writ
petition, which was filed on July 4, before the court.
A Hindu student of the college allegedly made a post on Facebook supporting
suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on June 18. A group of locals
including some students spread rumours that acting principal Swapan Kumar
Biswas had sided with the student and created ruckus in and around the
college. They torched three motorcycles inside the college premises.
Later, police came at the scene to rescue the teacher, but the some people
put a garland of shoes around the neck of Swapan Kumar Biswas and forced him
to plead for mercy in presence of the law enforcers.
