Pasir Mas district police chief ACP Kama Azural Mohamed confirmed receiving the report, stating that six 16-year-old students have since been arrested

In a statement on Wednesday, 20 August, Kama said the 15-year-old complainant claimed he was punched, elbowed on the head, and kicked in the buttocks during the assault.

He added that the boy experienced head pain and was too traumatised to return to school, as the same suspects had repeatedly harassed him in the past.

"The victim informed his parents before lodging a report at the Pasir Mas police station," he said, adding that initial investigations found all six suspects admitting to bullying him.

The suspects will remain in remand for six days to assist in investigations.
