Earlier, it was reported that police received a report from a male Form Two student at a residential school in Besut, claiming he was bullied by Form Three students last Tuesday.

Besut police chief Supt Azamuddin Ahmad @ Abu said initial investigations revealed that the senior students had ordered the victim to sit in a semi-squatting position with a slipper placed on his head for 40 minutes.

The victim was also punched in the stomach and slapped in the face while at the school dormitory, he said.

Azamuddin said that following the incident, the students suspected of involvement have been detained and taken to the Magistrate’s Court in Besut for a remand application.
