Father of the victim gave his statement as the complainant and prosecution witness and later the defence lawyer cross-examined him on different points.
Judge Arifur Rahman of Dhaka Nari-O-Shishu Tribunal Court number 4 fixed June 25 as the next date for submission of another prosecution witness.
In his statement, the victim's father told the court that his 15-year-old daughter, a student of Viquarunnesa Girls' School and College's Bashundhara branch, was raped by the accused, Parimal Joydhar, at his coaching centre twice last year.
His daughter described the incident to the family and later he informed the school authorities of the incident, he said.
After submission of his statement, Parimal's counsel Mahfuzur Rahman crossed-examined him.
The court framed charges against Parimal on March 7.
Mohammad Shahadat Hossain, Officer-in-Charge of the Badda Police Station and also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, submitted the charge-sheet on August 11 last year indicting Parimal, a sacked teacher of the school's Bashundhara branch.
The IO, however, dropped the names of Husne Ara Begum, the principal of the school, and Lutfur Rahman, in-charge of its Bashundhara branch.
On July 5 last year, the victim's family filed the case accusing Parimal of violating the girl at his coaching centre in Badda twice -- first on May 28 and then on June 17 last year.
The school authorities fired Parimal on July 5 last year amid widespread criticism and agitation from students and other quarters.
Parimal was arrested on July 7 and on July 11 he confessed to raping the student.
