The two boys were called to the office one by one where the principal caned them black and blue. At one point, Saif nearly collapsed as he was incessantly being hit by the principal. They were then confined to a room and allowed to go home after school.

Their fathers’ took them to the Civil Hospital where doctors confirmed the injuries to have been caused by hard and blunt weapon.

Principal, Commander (rtd) Shafaat Rasool Janjua when contacted denied hitting the boys rather told reporters that the two students were not in uniform and had untidy hair and refused to follow dress code when asked by their class teacher. Subsequently, the two boys were turned out of the school.
