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.
The torture rendered the child unconscious, with his classmates having to plead with the teacher to stop the beating.
The victim’s father shifted the child from the school to hospital and submitted a written complaint to airport police station.
Taking notice of incident, SHO Rana Ashraf filed an FIR against the teacher, while Sajid demanded departmental action against the teacher and his permanent dismissal from his position.
Reports from the school’s administration and the victim’s other classmates confirmed the validity of the incident.
The victim’s father protested and demanded the Punjab Chief Minister and DPO Rahim Yar Khan take immediate action and provide justice.
