| 2016-05-20 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid has said the management committee of Piyar Sattar Latif High School, which had suspended its headmaster Shyamal Kanti Bhakta, has been dissolved. He made the statement at a programme held at Mother Language Institute in Segunbagicha of Dhaka on Thursday morning. He said: "The management committee of Piyar Sattar Latif High School has been dissolved. Shyamal can now resume his work as the headmaster." The management committee suspended Shyamal on Tuesday. On Friday, Shyamal was beaten up and forced to do squats holding his ears with both hands in presence of local politician Salim Osman. A video of the incident spread online, triggering outrage across Bangladesh. Many empathised with the teacher by uploading pictures of themselves holding their ears. Later, a committee was formed to look into the incident. |

| #1 I see no words referring to the arrest, fines, or other punishment of the management committee members, particularly the president, whose relative was slated to replace the now-reinstted headmaster. |
