Scarsdale American International School in Lahore is an elite school that recently witnessed a violent incident of a student assaulting a fellow student. A video, which is now viral, has captured the incident. A number of angry Pakistani netizens have reacted to the bullying, some going so far as to condemn it as “haraam” and blame television dramas for influencing the youth.

Apart from the girl assaulting her fellow student by holding her, pushing her head against the floor, punching her, and pulling her hair, two other students are also seen participating, while a third is an onlooker. The allegedly bullied girl is being asked to apologise.
