Many girls assaulted by Islam stopped going to school gradually, with parents left puzzled. Some of the parents, who did not know of their ordeal, forced their daughters to attend classes.

Jahirul was busted when he was caught in the act while trying to molest a student on Children’s Day. After two parents came forward and lodged a police complaint against him, it also came to the fore that many preferred to keep quiet fearing societal shaming.
