KOTA BHARU, Jan 31 — Three students of a secondary school here were arrested for an alleged case of assault on a classmate.
Kota Bharu District police chief ACP Mohd Rosdi Daud said the arrest of the three students aged 14 to 15 was made after the victim's mother lodged a report at 7.51pm yesterday.
He said according to the report, her 14-year-old son claimed he was beaten up by three classmates at school at about 1.45pm.
“The cause of the fight was because they were mocking each other in class. The victim received outpatient treatment at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian,” Mohd Rosdi said today.
Following this, police arrested three students who were allegedly involved in the incident.
“They were remanded for four days from today for investigation under Section 506/323 of the Penal Code,” he said.
