A Dhaka court on Wednesday indicted two teachers of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College in a case over the suicide of Class IX student Aritree Adhikari.
Dhaka third additional metropolitan sessions judge Md Rabiul Alam framed the charges against them in the case.
The indicted are — Zinnat Ara, principal of the school, and its branch head Nazneen Ferdous.
The court also fixed October 27 for starting trial in the case.
Earlier, a court accepted the charge-sheet against the former principal and the Bailey Road branch head of the school in the case.
The court also exempted Hasna Hena, class teacher of Aritree, from the charges. On March 20, 2019, Detective Branch inspector Quamrul Hasan Talukdar, also the investigation officer of the case, submitted the charge-sheet against the two teachers before the court.
Aritree Adhikari, a Class IX student, committed suicide at their Shantinagar residence in the city on December 3, 2018, after allegedly being rebuked by teachers for using mobile phone during examination. The victim’s father Dilip Adhikari filed a case against three teachers of the school.
