  "textContent": "LAHORE: A seminary student from Bahawalnagar succumbed to injuries after he was subjected to physical abuse at a madrassa in Lahore Cantonment area on Saturday.\n\nAccording to police, Ali Haider (14)’s torture was not reported to police. His parents took him to their native town in Bahawalnagar and continued treating him privately without informing law enforcement agencies.\n\nPolice said the child later succumbed to his injuries.
