“They are also not linked to any VIPs or to the police,” he was quoted as saying.

Raisin said the state education department is leaving the matter to the police for a thorough investigation.

Zara Qairina, a Form One student, was found unconscious at 4am on July 16 after she allegedly fell from the third floor of her school hostel in Papar.

Sabah police commissioner Jauteh Dikun said Bukit Aman is reviewing the case, and police have not ruled out the possibility that the teen was bullied.
