Pasir mas: Six Form Four students in Pasir Mas have been remanded for six days starting today to assist in the investigation of a bullying case involving another student.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Pasir Mas Police Chief ACP Kama Azural Mohamed stated that the remand until August 25 was granted by the Pasir Mas Magistrate’s Court. This development follows the arrest of the all-male suspects, aged 16, which took place yesterday.

The incident in question occurred last Monday at 12.45 pm. The complainant reported being punched, elbowed on the head, and kicked on the buttocks by the suspects. Additionally, one suspect allegedly pulled down the complainant’s sports pants to knee level.

As a consequence of the incident, the victim has experienced head pain and trauma related to returning to school, as the same suspects have been frequently harassing him. The victim informed his parents about the matter before lodging a report at the Pasir Mas Police Station. Preliminary investigations revealed that all the suspects admitted to bullying the victim.

Kama Azural noted that the case is being investigated under Section 323/507B of the Penal Code and Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.
