By FARIK ZOLKEPLI
KOTA TINGGI: Police have identified the five students who beat up one of their Form One schoolmates with a chair in a secondary school here – thanks to a mobile phone video footage.
OCPD Supt Jamaluddin Md Yusoff said the five would be picked up soon.
“We have recovered the cellphone with the footage,” he said here yesterday.

The pictures are frames downloaded from a website which had a mobile phone footage of a Form One student being beaten up by five of his fellow schoolmates at a school in Kota Tinggi, Johor. Police have managed to identify the assailants in the footage. Thankfully, the student did not suffer any serious injury. |
The website has had thousands of hits.
The footage was supposedly recorded by one of the assailants.
Supt Jamaluddin said the incident was believed to have occurred on June 16.
The victim's father only lodged a police report on Friday, when a teacher confiscated the mobile phone after catching several students watching the footage.
Police have classified the case as rioting under Section 148 of the Penal Code.
He was sent for a medical check-up at the Kota Tinggi Hospital.
He urged those who had suffered similar incidents to come forward to the police as soon as possible.
State executive councillor Zainal Abidin Osman said he was waiting for a report from the state education department on the matter.
