Kannywood actress Amal Umar has publicly demanded a thorough investigation and justice following the tragic death of a boarding school student, Nihal, who reportedly died while serving a disciplinary punishment.
The actress, who shares a personal relationship with the victim’s parents, alleged that the young girl succumbed to health complications after school authorities and senior students ignored her medical conditions.
According to Amal, the incident began when senior students penalized Nihal for arriving late to prayers. Despite the student pleading for leniency and explaining that she suffered from both asthma and a heart condition, her appeals were reportedly dismissed, and she was ordered to sweep the area.
The situation escalated when senior students reported Nihal to a teacher. The instructor subsequently ordered the girl to kneel down as further punishment. Reports indicate that the teacher forgot about the student, leaving her kneeling for an extended period.
Nihal allegedly collapsed during the punishment and was later pronounced dead.
Amal has called on relevant educational and law enforcement authorities to conduct a full-scale inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death to ensure accountability.
