Kerian police chief Juna Yusoff said the investigation papers had been submitted to the legal investigation division of the Perak police headquarters on Jan 27.
“The documents will then be forwarded to Bukit Aman’s legal investigation division as the case involves a public servant. Once the review is completed, the findings will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor for further action,” he said in a statement tonight.
Juna earlier confirmed that police had received a report from the pupil’s mother, who alleged her child was injured after being struck by a 30-year-old male teacher on Dec 10.
However, the 40-year-old woman withdrew her report the following day, choosing not to pursue the matter. Recently, she filed a new report, requesting police to resume their investigation and take action against the teacher.
It was previously reported that the 12-year-old pupil allegedly suffered an ear concussion after being slapped and punched by his teacher.
