He said the 12-year-old suffered injuries on her head and body after being assaulted by her schoolmate in Kelana Jaya.

“The complainant lodged a police report at 9.26pm yesterday, claiming that her schoolmate had assaulted her in a fit of jealousy, upon learning about her relationship with the girl’s foster brother,” he said in a statement.
