A disturbing event unfolded in Pakistan's Khyber district, where a 10-year-old boy named Khyalmat Khan tragically died after being beaten by his headmaster at a private school assembly.
The headmaster, Waqar Ahmed, allegedly used a rod to hit the boy on his head and body, leading to his death in the hospital. Local police condemned the act, emphasizing that violence against children won't be tolerated.
This tragedy has sparked calls to ban corporal punishment in schools, underlining the urgent need to protect children's rights in the region.
