Teacher’s torture leaves student mute, paralysed

LARKANA: A student in Larkana Cadet College lost his senses due to alleged torture by a teacher.

After being strangulated, Muhammad Ahmed, 14, sensitive bones of his neck broke.

He lost his speech and his brain suffered paralysis. He is on a liquid diet as he can neither digest nor chew solid food.

His medical treatment is possible in the US. His parents claim they don’t have the resources to take him there.

Ahmed’s father, a teacher, said the incident occurred four months ago and some teachers from his school are responsible for bringing his son to this state.

The law makes any sort of corporal punishment in school illegal.

Individuals found to be involved in corporal punishment would be sentenced to one year in prison or Rs50,000 fine or both.
