HYDERABAD:


A primary school principal was arrested for humiliating two students by painting their faces black and making them parade on donkeys around the town.



Principal Lal Muhammad Bhatti was presented before a court in Jamshoro on Friday.

The class-V students, Tahir Kalhoro and Suhail Chandio, were caught stealing biscuits from the school in the Arazi Town of Sehwan Sharif. Both the students are orphans.

The district and sessions court, Jamshoro, told the police to register an FIR against the principal but the law enforcers have yet to comply.
