Musa's father stated that the incident has greatly impacted his son's self-esteem, leading to the decision to withdraw him from the school.
In response to the video circulating on social media, the Directorate of Private Schools took notice of the incident and sought a reply from the school.
While the incident has yet to be confirmed or denied, a three-member committee has been formed to conduct an investigation. The committee will be visiting the school on Monday to gather information.
