A relative of the young student said that both the victim and her family are traumatized.

The same source added that this is not the first time this specific teacher beat his students. He previously assaulted many of his students but their families did not take legal action against him due to the “culture of fear among the locals”.

The residents of the village have called on the authorities and the public prosecutor to intervene, arrest the accused, and bring justice to the assaulted student and her family as soon as possible.
