Many mothers get angry when teachers punish their children but a mother went a bit too far when she sent her cop brother and husband to beat up female teachers for trying to discipline her daughter for habitually coming late to school.
The Jamshed Quarters police registered a case involving an incident in which the parents of a student, accompanied by a police officer, allegedly assaulted female teachers at a private school on Jamshed Road. The confrontation reportedly stemmed from a disciplinary action taken by a teacher against the student for habitual tardiness.
The FIR was lodged on the complaint of the affected teacher, Saira Iqbal. According to her statement, on May 16, she reprimanded a student, Eshal Shahid, for repeatedly arriving late to school and briefly made her stand as a disciplinary measure. The following day, the student's mother visited the school and, after confronting the principal, verbally abused Saira. Both the teacher and the principal offered an apology, after which the situation appeared to have been resolved.
However, on May 26, the situation escalated. According to the FIR, Eshal Shahid's father, Shahid, and her uncle, Abdul Hafeez - who identified himself as the SHO at Kalakot police station - arrived at the school accompanied by the student's mother. They physically assaulted teacher Maria Shahid and Saira. SSP East Dr Farrukh Raza confirmed that legal proceedings are underway based on the school administration's complaint.
