The boy was brought by his mother to the Tuanku Jaafar Hospital in Seremban last Thursday, after he suffered abdominal pains and started vomiting at home. His mother had initially taken him to a clinic in Nilai, where the family stays.
While in hospital, the boy told police that the incident happened the day before, when the youths held him down before forcing him to drink the liquid, according to Nilai OCPD Supt Zaludin Zaldino.
When asked why they had done that, the teen told police they were angry with him after he had allegedly scolded them for sniffing glue.
