A horrifying incident recently took place at a local madrassa in Multan, where a Qari subjected a young child to severe torture as a punishment for failing to memorize a lesson. This brutal act involved placing a nail on the child’s tongue, which tragically resulted in the nail penetrating the child’s throat.

According to local police reports, when the child struggled to recall the lesson, the Qari resorted to this extreme violence. Consequently, the child, overwhelmed by pain, began crying, unintentionally causing the nail to slide further into his throat. This traumatic incident induced vomiting in the young victim.

Prompt action was taken, and the victim was immediately rushed to Nishtar Hospital, where medical professionals performed a complex operation to remove the 6-centimeter-long nail lodged in his throat.

Dr. Amjad Rao of Nishtar Hospital confirmed that the child’s condition is now stable, although he endured a terrifying ordeal.

In response to this appalling act of cruelty against a child, authorities have filed a case against the cruel and mentally unstable madrassa Qari at the Bahauddin Zakariya police station. A manhunt is currently underway to apprehend the accused, ensuring that justice is served in this shocking incident.
