A schoolteacher allegedly tortured a student in Basti Bandur Kokari Government Elementary School, leaving marks across his body.

Sajid Ali, father of seve-year-old Muhammad Abdullah, told media on Thursday that schoolteacher Muhammad Shahzad brutally tortured his son over not remembering the lesson.
