A student succumbed to injuries after being brutally beaten by his teacher for not memorising his lesson in a private school in Sargodha’s Badar Ranjha town, it emerged on Saturday.
The incident, which took place two days ago, came to the fore after the student’s death at a private hospital in Faisalabad.
Samiullah, a student of ninth class, suffered serious injuries in his backbone due to being beaten with a stick as corporal punishment by his teacher, a news channel reported.
Police said that the victim was first shifted to a hospital in Sargodha and later to Faisalabad due to worsening condition. However, Samiullah couldn’t survive the injuries and died during the course of treatment.
Police further stated a case has been registered in this regard.
Meanwhile, regional police officer said that the suspected teacher has acquired interim bail to avoid arrest. He said that post mortem of the deceased child will be done to determine the cause of death, while directives have been issued for investigation through all aspects of the matter.
