Anish Lamichhane, a 15-year-old who is a 10th grader at Bal Uddhar Secondary School was admitted to a hospital on June 5 after three of his teachers brutally beat him in a closed classroom. Due to this, he sustained serious injuries and had bruises on his back, neck and thigh that made him unable to walk.
