Student tortured by principal

DAHARKI: A student of class two was allegedly beaten with an iron rod by the principal of a private school in Siddique Colony on Wednesday.

The incident left the seven-year-old Muhammad Bilal with fractured fingers. The student’s father, Muhammad Nawaz, took him to the police station to register an FIR but police refused to register the case.

The father said that his child had complained of mistreatment by the teacher a month ago as well. On the other hand, the school principal, Muhammad Rafiq Channa, said that the child was beaten with a stick, not an iron rod, for misbehaving and that the child’s father wants to defame the school.
