KANGAR: Three Form One students at a secondary school here have been remanded for two days over an investigation over alleged bullying of a schoolmate that left him with a fractured left ankle.
Kangar police chief Asst Comm Yusharifuddin Mohd Yusop said police received a report on the incident at 11.27pm on Thursday.
He said the victim's 39-year-old mother was told by his class teacher that her son, also a Form One student, had slipped while entering the classroom and was unable to walk.
The mother picked up her son at about 1pm and took him to Tuanku Fauziah Hospital here, where a doctor confirmed that he had fractured his left ankle.
Yusharifuddin said that at the hospital, the boy told his mother that he had been bullied for several months, culminating in an incident that day which caused the injury.
The three students are believed to have kicked and hit the victim, thrown two large rubbish bins at his body and head and spat on him. They are also suspected of extorting the victim.
The case is being investigated under Sections 324 and 507B of the Penal Code. – Bernama
