The Kelantan Police Chief, Deputy Commissioner Shafien Mamat shared that a police report was made by the victim.

Many have condemned the three teenagers actions, describing it as an act of bullying.
This case is being investigated under Section 506/323 of the Penal Code.
No matter what someone does to you, how you react to the situation is completely in your own control. Even if these boys were angered by the fact that they were cheated out of a complimentary meal, they should not have beaten up the boy for it.
