KARACHI: Even though corporal punishment is banned, a nine-year-old boy’s death at the hands of his madrasa teacher on Sunday has once again called into question the Sindh government’s resolve to implement laws.
The minor was beaten to death by his madrasa teacher in the Eidu Goth locality of Bin Qasim Town because, according to District Malir police officials, the boy had escaped from the seminary.
Bin Qasim Town Station House Officer (SHO) Dhani Bux Marri told The News that nine-year-old Muhammad Hussain was beaten to death by his madrasa teacher Najmuddin.
The SHO said the police were informed about the incident by an area resident, following which a team of law enforcers rushed to the madrasa and arrested the teacher.
Marri said the victim’s father Muhammad Saleem told the police in his statement that Hussain often ran away from the madrasa, but he always took his son back to the seminary.
“On Sunday, however, when Hussain’s parents took him back to the madrasa after he had run away for the umpteenth time, the teacher, to punish the boy, beat him as usual, but he did not stop until the kid had breathed his last,” added the officer.
