Teacher remanded over death of maid in city

BSS, Dhaka :
A court here on Sunday placed a teacher of Birshreshtha Noor Mohammad Public School and College on four-day police remand in a case lodged following the recovery of the body of her housemaid Laili Akter, 16, from her home at the teacher’s complex.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Moinul Islam passed the order as police produced Farjana Islam before the court and pleaded to place her on 10-day remand.
Police on April 10 recovered the body of Laili Akter from Farjana’s third-floor home at the teacher’s complex of the college and later the case was filed with New Market Police Station.
Laili, daughter of late Siraj Miah of village Chandrapur in Lakshmipur, was working at the house of Farjana Islam for the last eight months.
Her mother said Farjana used to give her Taka one thousand monthly but did not let her meet Laili. She alleged that Farjana killed her daughter by torturing.
