A private school teacher administered severe beatings on minor students for coming to school late in Drosh area of Chitral district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a private news channel reported on Tuesday.
A video went viral on social media where the teacher was seen indiscriminately beating a group of students in the school ground with a wooden stick.
In the 1m 36s clip recorded through mobile, the school teacher, who was later identified as Inam, was torturing students aged between eight and 10 years.
Students continued to cry and tried run away but the teacher did not stop.
Mohammad Yousaf, assistant commissioner of Chitral, told the TV channel that the district administration has taken notice of the incident.
“We have not received any complaint from parents of the students but have taken notice after coming across a recorded video clip on social media,” he said.
“I have asked the DSP and SHO of Drosh police station to register an FIR against the teacher under the Child Protection Act and arrest the teacher,” Yousaf said.
