A 13-year old boy was brought to capital city Male' for treatment following slashed nerves on both of his hands.

The student from Fuvahmulah City's Haafiz Ahmed School was brought in after several nerves on both his hands slashed after the glasspane of a door smashed during a dispute between students of the school on the 29th of May.

The boy was rushed to the Fuvahmulah Atoll Hospital upon injury, he had however been brought to the capital city on Wednesday since a neurologist was not present at Fuvahmulah Atoll Hospital then.

According to information received by RaajjeMV from a resident of the island, the teenager had exited the classroom to dispose off something and four other students had blocked his way as he was headed back in. The glasspane of the door had smashed and slashed the palms of the teenager's hand as he had struggled with the other students at the doorway, to enter the classroom.

Many have expressed their discontent over the fact that a teacher was not present in the classroom at the time of the incident.

RaajjeMV was unable to attain a comment from Hafiz Ahmed School nor the Ministry of Education at the time of publishing.

The teenager had nine slashed nerves on one hand, and one on the other hand for which an operation has been conducted by ADK Hospital in capital city Male'.
