The victims, 17-year-old Abdugafar Yersaliev and Konstantin Zorin, the first has severe swelling of the face and abrasions, the second was beaten in the kidneys and liver. According to the young men, they were held in the basement of the college for over three hours and beaten. This was reported by the KTK TV channel.
It all started when the guys wrote a comment on TikTok to a video posted by the college's vice principal. The teacher didn't like it and called the students in for a talk. KTK clarifies that the man brought them to the college basement and started beating them up, and several gym teachers and senior students helped him do this.

The parents of the victims made a scene at the college. The mothers found washed-out traces of blood on the floor, showed their children's bloody clothes, and also pointed out abrasions from blows on the hands of the head teacher. However, the teacher who is accused of violence denies everything. According to him, the students were beaten by senior students, and he had nothing to do with it.
"No, I didn't beat them. There is no evidence. I injured my hands when I was working in my yard. I asked the senior students: "Did you beat Kostya and Gafur?" They said they did. There was blood here. We washed everything off so that other teachers wouldn't see," said Kazybek Yerzhanov, deputy director for educational work at Parasat College.
