A bizarre incident of a student in Pakistan being forced to eat grass by his teacher for not reading out the lesson has come to light.

In a video, which has gone viral seven-year-old boy is seen eating grass after he fails to read out the lesson as instructed by his teacher Hamid Raza.

And to add to the humiliation of the young child all this took place in front of his classmates at the Government Primary School in Fatehpur, Lodhran.

Kashan’s father has preferred to forgive the teacher saying that the teacher is known to him and he did all this as a joke.

However, the authorities after taking the notice of the incident ordered an investigation and promised to take strict action if the teacher was found guilty.
