A shocking incident occurred at Al-Badar Higher Secondary School in Lihari, Karachi, when the Head of Islamic Studies (HOD) was brutally attacked by a student’s family for making their child stand outside the classroom for skipping Quran class.
According to reports, the eighth-grade student, Eshal, was punished by being made to stand outside the classroom for 20 minutes. In retaliation, Eshal, her mother, her maternal uncle, and several men—some claiming to be police officers and reportedly armed—entered the school premises.
They demanded to see the HOD and then physically assaulted her, pulling off her niqab and beating her in front of students and staff. Other women who tried to intervene were also attacked, while male staff reportedly did not intervene. The violent scene left students in distress, with many crying in fear.
A video of the assault, secretly recorded, has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage and calls for justice. Despite the severity of the attack, the school administration reportedly suggested that Mam Sara should forgive the student.
In response to the incident, a protest has been scheduled for Thursday, 29th May 2025, at 9 am near Islamia College’s Secondary Branch, with community members demanding accountability and justice for the victims.
