A seven-year old boy in the US was beaten in his school bus by five students while refereeing to him being Muslim and a person from Pakistani background, his father alleges, according to various reports.

Talking to Buzzfeed, Dr. Zeeshan-ul-Hassan, the kid’s father, confirmed his family has left the US for Pakistani after the incident, which, he says, is not the first one his family has dealt with.

He alleged the kids in the bus called his son names and also assaulted him.

He also put a picture on his Facebook page of his injured son.

However, the school’s investigation hasn’t revealed any such incident.

The same website has quoted Wake County Public School System’s spokesperson, Lisa Luten, as saying that the school immediately took action on the matter.

The principal interviewed the students sitting near the child as well as the bus driver and nobody witnessed any type of altercation, she added.
