Cops haul up five Form 5 students over bullying at Mara school

BALIK PULAU – Five Form 5 students of a Mara education institution in Balik Pulau were held to assist in the investigation into a bullying case involving a Form 3 student at the school, on Thursday.

Southwest District police chief Kamarul Rizal Jenal said all the 17-year-old boys were released on police bail after their statements had been taken.

“Further investigations are underway and the case is being investigated according to Section 147 of the Penal Code for rioting,” he said when contacted today.

The 11pm incident is believed to have occurred due to a misunderstanding and the victim involved suffered injuries after being allegedly beaten by the group of seniors.

The victim is said to have informed his father about the incident who then filed a police report. – Bernama, May 21, 2023
