| 2019-01-17 |
| [DAWN] HARIPUR: A schoolteacher secured bail from a local court to prevent arrest by the police in a corporal punishment case. The development comes as the police registered a criminal case under Section 34 of the KP Child Protection Welfare Act, 2010, against teacher Ahmad Shahzad for beating up a 10th grader in Khanpur tehsil here. Mushtaq Ahmad of Khanpur told the police that his son, Faizan Ali, was enrolled in Tameer-e-Millat Public School, whose administration informed him on Tuesday about the son’s hospitalisation after fainting on campus. He added that he found his son to be unconsciousness in the hospital with marks of torture visible on body. The complaint said his son was later referred to the District Headquarters Hospital, where he regained consciousness and disclosed that he’d collapsed after teacher Ahmad Shahzad repeatedly hit his head with a bamboo stick over a minor mistake. |
