In Tashkent, a 3rd-grade student was forced to swallow a metal bracelet

Reports have spread that a school student in Tashkent underwent a major surgery due to a metal object being forced into his mouth.

It was revealed that on September 2 of this year, when the 3rd-grade school student went to the restroom, upperclassmen forced an unknown object into his mouth.

On September 5, the boy's condition deteriorated sharply, and he was taken to the hospital with severe pain. During the X-ray examinations, a metal object was found in the child's internal organs.

According to an audio recording said to belong to the victim's mother, the boy did not report the incident in time out of fear of the consequences. She noted that the presence of a foreign object inside him was discovered only when an X-ray was performed at the doctor's. As a result, the boy underwent a complex and 3-hour emergency surgery in an extremely grave condition; surgeons were forced to cut and remove the damaged part of the intestine. According to the mother, the boy is currently receiving treatment in the intensive care unit.

Currently, pre-investigation proceedings are being conducted regarding this situation by the relevant law enforcement agencies.
