The accused are Golam Mostafa, Rafiqur Rahman, Mizanur Rahman Mintu, Yasin Ali, Zulfikar, Azhar Ali and Mohammad Ullah. All of them are teachers of different primary schools in sadar upazila.
According to the case statement, the accused teachers, including Mostafa, president of Upazila Teachers’ Association and former headmaster of a school, send false complaints to the upazila education office against teachers unless they give them toll.

After failing to get the money, the accused teachers attacked Rahat’s business entity in Masjid Market area and assaulted Rashida, claimed the complainant.
As police refused to record any case, she filed the case with the court, Rashida said.
