The female teacher, surnamed Ma, discovered that one of her pupils, an 11-year-old girl surnamed Wang, had not completed her homework on June 10. The teacher ordered three of Wang's classmates to take off Wang's clothes, and then she beat her, the report said.

On June 11, Ma found that Wang once again had not completed her homework, so she kicked her, according to the report.
