The footage, reportedly filmed inside a private school, shows a young boy being violently beaten by his teachers, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for strict legal action.
According to police sources, the incident occurred in a school located in the Gujar Khan area of Rawalpindi district. After the video gained traction online, local authorities swiftly intervened and took one of the accused teachers into custody. Police confirmed that the investigation is underway, and further arrests are expected as more details emerge.
Parents and child rights activists have strongly criticized the incident, urging the government to take strict action against those involved. Many have emphasized the need for enforcing stricter laws to ensure the safety and protection of children within educational institutions.
As per officials, the child is now safe and receiving necessary medical care. The police have also recorded the statement of the victim’s family, who expressed shock and demanded justice.
