An eight-year-old madrasah (seminary) pupil was beaten to death on Sunday in Bin Qasim Town area of Karachi, allegedly by his teacher, the police said.

Bin Qasim SHO Dhani Bux Marri told Dawn that the deceased Mohammed Hussain had been subjected to corporal punishments by Qari Najmuddin in the past as well, due to which he had run away from the seminary.

The child's parents on Sunday brought him back to the seminary when he tried to flee again, but this time Najmuddin got hold of him and allegedly subjected him to a beating using a stick and another blunt weapon. Police said there were visible signs of torture on the boy's body.

The accused was arrested even though SSP Malir Adeel Hussain Chandio said the victim's parents were reluctant to press charges.
