A madrasa teacher landed in jail on Tuesday hours after police arrested her in the capital on charge of torturing girl students.
A metropolitan magistrate also refused a police request for placing Jesmin Akter, 38, a teacher of Talimul Quran Mahila Madrasa at Namashyampur in the capital's Kadamtali area, on a seven-day remand.
At the court, she admitted searing the legs of 14 girls with hot spatula to demonstrate lessons of hell.
On May 1, Jesmin seared legs of the students, aged between eight and 12, with a hot spatula in her punitive attempt to make them feel the “agony of fire in hell” as they were "irregular" in their prayers.
Acting on a tip-off, the arrest was made at Nawabganj in Old Dhaka around 2:30am, said Shafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Kadamtali Police Station.
Describing the arrest, Shafiqul Islam told that they raided her relative's house at Nawabganj based on information that Jesmin took shelter there after a case was filed against her in connection with inflicting torture on the girls.
Abdul Jalil, father of eight-year-old victim Jannatul Ferdous, filed the case with the police station on May 1 after the teacher seared her leg with spatula.
Jesmin went into hiding after the case was filed against her, the OC said.
