DETENTION DEATH Asthma-suffering schoolboy, 14, collapses in detention and dies ‘after asking for his inhaler’


The family of Nasar Ahmed has now released a harrowing photograph of the 14-year-old boy in a hospital bed, with the image taken just before the boy’s life was tragically cut short. Police are now probing the young boy’s death, with his family claiming he was forced into all-day detention at Bow School in Tower Hamlets, London, after he tipped a bin over.
The family said the Year Nine pupil suffered a severe

asthma and panic attack on Thursday after being disciplined with the boy’s life support turned off on Monday afternoon.
Nasar’s cousin Sani Begum Sania, 38, said the family was traumatised – but now wanted justice for their boy.
Remembered Nasar as a “very gentle and smart decent child”, she said he had accidentally tipped over a bin when two boys were fighting.
Sani said: “He was told by the assistant deputy head teacher that he did it on purpose and he was going to be in detention for 45 minutes.”
She said the boy’s father was called at 11.40am on Thursday, with the school later bringing in a Bengali translator who spoke on behalf of his father Mr Zaman.
She said: “Nasar pleaded and promised the teacher that he would never do that again.
“Despite his plea, the deputy head teacher still gave him an all-day detention.”
She said the young boy, who suffered from severe asthma, harsh eczema and other disabilities, was then punished further with an extra 45 minutes in detention after school.
She said: “During this time Nasar panicked and experienced anxiety which lead to a sudden asthma attack.
His concerned father rushed to the school after being called by the school, with Sani saying: “To his horror, he found his son collapsed unconscious on the floor and surrounded by paramedics.”
