A businesswoman in Rompin was distressed after her 14-year-old son was allegedly assaulted by five senior students at a religious secondary school. The incident occurred on September 12 when the students called the boy and his friend to their hostel room, blindfolded the boy, and beat him with a broomstick for over an hour. The mother informed the school about the incident but claimed no action was taken.
She later took matters into her own hands, rescuing her son and lodging a police report on September 17. The students involved were arrested after two victims reported the incident separately. The suspects, aged 15 and 16, face potential imprisonment for rioting.
