Teacher sentenced to death for raping 12-year-old madrasa student in Netrokona

Earlier, after the conclusion of arguments on 28 October, the court fixed 11 November for the verdict. During the arguments, although the main accused Sagar appealed to be released from the case in exchange for writing off all his property (12 decimals of land), the court sternly rejected it.

According to the case details, in November 2025, Aman Ullah Mahmudi Sagar, director and teacher of a women's Qawmi madrasa in Kaitail union of Madan upazila, called the child to the madrasa and raped her, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Out of fear, the child kept the incident secret and at one point stopped going to the madrasa. Later, after noticing physical changes, the family took her to a doctor, and in April of the current year it was confirmed that the child was pregnant. On 23 April, the child's mother filed a case against Sagar and his brother Maimun alias Mamun Mia at Madan police station.

After the case, there was a storm of intense anger and condemnation across the country. RAB-14 started a shadow investigation into the incident, and on 6 May the main accused Sagar was arrested from Gauripur in Mymensingh; police took him on a three-day remand for questioning. During the legal process, on 2 July, the victim child gave birth to a daughter at Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital.

Following the court's order, a CID team collected a DNA sample of the newborn and sent it to a lab in Dhaka. The results of DNA profiling showed that Sagar's DNA matched 99.99 percent with the newborn's. Based on this scientific evidence, the investigating officer, SI Md. Aktaruzzaman of Madan police station, submitted a charge sheet against Sagar and his brother Mamun Mia in court on 26 August under Section 9(1) of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act and Section 506 of the Penal Code.
