The incident, which allegedly occurred for a whole morning, has ignited a firestorm of criticism and calls for justice from the public.

The allegations, shared on social media, detail how the child's hands and feet were bound to a wooden chair. The source of the information claims the boy was restrained by the school’s student affairs officer.

Further investigation is currently underway to ascertain the facts of the case.
