Khyber Medical College students held a protest on Friday against the alleged thrashing of a female student by a teacher for wearing a veil .
According to witnesses, Anatomy Professor at KMC Rahim Bangash thrashed a first year MBBS student on wearing veil in the classroom. Bangash insisted the student to take off her veil which led to a heated argument between the two and Bangash lashed at the student in anger. He later left the college.
The event led the students to boycott classes as they demanded immediate removal of the professor by the administration.
The administration has taken notice of the incident, suspended Bangash and ordered an enquiry.
