According to the report, the grandfather of the girl told the paper that the headmaster gave the final-year student several strokes of the cane after she offered her cardigan to another mate of hers. Upon seeing the boy with another cardigan, the report added, the headmaster got furious and asked whose cardigan he was wearing. “As a result, he summoned all students present to further enquire about who helped the boy with the cardigan. Fearing they might be punished collectively, a boy pointed at Mary, following which the rest were freed,” the report stated. The student is said to have later reported the incident to her parents, who further lodged a complaint at the police station.
