Baintiaj Alam, who runs a private computer teaching centre in the area, was arrested on Wednesday and produced in a Islampur court on Thursday. Sources said Alam, who hails from Kamarhati in North 24-Paraganas, stayed in a rented house and had opened a computer teaching centre about a year ago. This left the people irate who then brought him out of his house and beat him up for marrying a minor. He was made to move around the locality so that nobody else dares to marry a minor girl. Ayesha Rani A, district magistrate of North Dinajpur, said: "It is good that the people protested the marriage of a minor.
