A mobile court in Barishal's Gournadi upazila has sentenced a local Jubo Dal leader to imprisonment for harassing school students, physically assaulting a tenth-grader, and forcing him to do sit-ups while holding his ears. The convict, identified as Lipon Sharif, was penalised following widespread outrage and protests by students in the area.

According to local sources and police, the incident took place near Nathai Rezia Secondary School in Gournadi upazila on Tuesday. Lipon Sharif reportedly harassed school-going students near the campus. When a tenth-grade student protested against his unlawful behavior, Lipon physically assaulted him and subjected him to public humiliation by forcing him to perform sit-ups while holding his ears.

The incident triggered intense anger among the students of Nathai Rezia Secondary School. On Wednesday morning, hundreds of students brought out a protest rally demanding strict legal action and exemplary punishment against the perpetrator. Prompted by the demonstration, the local administration conducted a mobile court operation, found Lipon Sharif guilty of the charges, and sentenced him to prison.
