AHMED PUR LAMA: A 5-year-old girl and seven-year-old boy were hospitalised after a madrassa cleric beat them for not learning their lessons properly
.Ahmed Pur Lama Police has registered a case on the complaint of the children’s parents.
According to the police, F-21 resident Muhammad Iqbal submitted an application with the police stating that his five-year-old daughter, Amna Bibi, and a seven-year-old boy, Fahad Qadri, were beaten up with a chair by their teacher, Shehzad. Both children were severely injured as a result.
They were taken to the DHQ Hospital, where doctors said that Amna had broken the bones of her right hand and Fahad had cut his head.
The two children had been beaten by cleric, Syed Rehman Shehzad, because they had failed to memorise their lessons properly, according to the parents.
“When we questioned him, he said that the children had not learned a dua properly and that they deserved to be punished for mispronouncing Arabic verses,” Iqbal said. The cleric showed no remorse over the incident according to medical officials, who said that they had accompanied the children’s parents to question him. Ahmed Pur Lama Police have registered a case against Shehzad.
The medical report was sent to a hospital for the provision of a medico-legal certificate (MLC). “We will proceed when we have an MLC,” police officials said.
