The incident has triggered widespread anger and grief in the region. Family members and local residents took to the streets in protest, blocking the main road in Khwazakhela bazaar, demanding severe punishment for the teachers involved.
According to a fellow student, the victim was confined to a room by three teachers, who took turns torturing him for five hours. The abuse continued without interruption, with each teacher inflicting further pain until the child ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Local residents have urged the government and law enforcement agencies to implement stronger oversight and monitoring systems within madrassas to prevent such horrifying incidents. They have also called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the teachers involved in the assault.
