Police arrested the headmaster of a secondary school early today after an arrest warrant was issued against him in a case filed over sexual harassment of a female student. A team of Jashore Kotwali Police Station arrested Zulfiqar Ali, headmaster of Jangal Badhal Secondary School, from the town's Lal Dighi Par area around 1:00am, said the police station's Inspector (Operations) Palash Biswas. He was scheduled to be produced before court today, the inspector said. The father of a victim filed a complaint against him with the president of the managing committee of the school last week. Getting no response from the committee, he finally filed a case with a local court. The case was recorded as a regular case at Jashore Kotwali Police Station at the court's order. After Sub-inspector Kamruzzaman, also the investigation officer of the case, placed the probe report before the court, the judge on Tuesday issued a warrant against Zulfiqar Ali. It is alleged that he used to call female students to his office room and sexually harass them.
