The shocking incident had taken place on Wednesday in which the staffers of a private school allegedly tortured a man before his son and then thrown him out of the building.

While recording the video, he filmed a man standing on the scene along with a child and asked him to be a witness of the incident. “All of you are witnesses! The school management tortures me in front of my son.”

Another person said that his daughter had been locked up inside a room by the school administration three days ago. He added that his daughter was forced to sit alone in the room in the extremely hot weather and even stopped to drink water and taking meal.

The provincial education department took notice of the viral video and sent its officials to the private school, however, the staffers had not opened the door.
