Police launched an investigation against the school last week after a video clip of a young girl being brutally tortured by her classmates Jannat Malik, Kainat Malik, Umayma Qaiser and Noor Rehman went viral on the internet.
According to reports, the thugs are known to be drug addicts who threatened the victim with knives and weapons. The father of the victim had filed an FIR against the girls, but due to goons belonging to a high-profile family, they were granted anticipatory bail.
Pakistani public and celebrities alike condemned the heinous act and urged the authorities to take strict action against the culprits.
