"The probe committee formed in the incident will release its report within this week. Appropriate action will be taken if anyone is found guilty in the investigation," the deputy commissioner said.
Earlier on 21 March, Rubaiya Yasmin, who was the Bogura additional district and session's judge at the time, asked the headmistress to call parents of the students who had a scuffle with her daughter on social media over classroom chores.
Rubaiya Yasmin allegedly forced two parents to beg for her forgiveness by touching her feet.
Later, students of the school blocked the road and protested against the judge for harassing the guardians. When the issue became public, people on social media criticised the judge's actions.
On 23 March, Rubaiya Yasmin was relieved of her judicial duties and transferred to the law ministry following the allegation.
