The Investigation Police Department of Nam Dan District (Nghe An) has initiated legal proceedings against a high school student accused of forcing a classmate to eat dirt, mud, and smoke cigarettes without exhaling the smoke.  

On October 25, police authorities indicted P.T.N., born in 2008 and residing in Nam Anh Commune, Nam Dan District, a student in the 11th grade at Mai Hac De High School, on charges of "Humiliation of Others."  

The charges have been approved by the Nam Dan District People's Procuracy. As the suspect is under 18 years old, the police have imposed restrictions, preventing P.T.N. from leaving his place of residence.  

Earlier, at around 9 PM on October 19, near a rice field in Hamlet 7 (Nam Anh Commune, Nam Dan District), P.T.N., along with N.V.T., born in 2010 and also from Nam Anh, coerced V.H.D., a 9th grader from Anh Xuan Secondary School, into smoking without exhaling, eating dirt, and mud.
