A 13-year-old Form 1 student from a secondary school in Sungai Petani, Kedah, was found tied up and gagged in a school toilet after she failed to exit the school at the usual dismissal time on Monday, 14 July 2025.
The girl’s mother became concerned when her daughter did not appear after school ended at 6:30 PM.
After waiting outside with no sign of her child, she alerted a school security guard and began searching the premises.
Found Bound and Gagged in School’s Toilet
Their search led them to one of the school’s toilets, where they discovered the girl with her hands and feet tied using a school necktie, and her mouth covered with a handkerchief.
She sustained minor injuries to her hands and legs and was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. She was also reported to be traumatised by the experience.
Her mother later lodged a police report.
