It was reported that in the incident, the pupils had threatened Muhammad Ali that they would beat him up. Out of fear of his own safety, the latter cut his tongue using a pair scissors himself.

His teacher realised the incident when the boy was found with blood while coming out of the toilet.

The case is now under police probe after the victim's mother lodged a report.
