A madrasa teacher in Narsingdi has been accused of severely beating a child student, leaving him seriously injured. The incident occurred at Madrasatul Abrar Arabia Madrasa, located at Velanagar Jailkhana intersection in the town around 11am on Friday.

The injured child, Mujahid, 7, is the son of Jewel Ahmed from Dakshin Kararchar village in Shibpur Upazila. The accused teacher, Nazmus Sakib, is the son of Ashraf Uddin from Bagmara village in Mymensingh.

According to local sources, the madrasa is located beside the Dhaka–Sylhet Highway near Velanagar Jailkhana intersection in Narsingdi town.
