PETALING JAYA:
Police have recorded the statements of 30 students from a religious boarding school in Labu, Negeri Sembilan, over a bullying case that left a Form 2 student requiring medical treatment.

Nilai district police chief Mohd Fazley Ab Rahman said four reports have been lodged over the incident which left the victim with injuries on several parts of his body.

Harian Metro quoted him as saying that the 30 students finished giving their statements at 2pm yesterday, while six male students have been remanded.

Police are probing the case under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon, an offence which carries a jail term of up to 10 years, a fine or whipping, or any two of the punishments, upon conviction.

Previously, Fazley said the Form 2 student was believed to have been beaten up by Form 4 students.
