The incident took place after the students were dismissed early from school on Aug 29, the eve of Teachers' Day.

The student told The Straits Times that as she was walking home with a friend after leaving school at around 10.40am that day, they were stopped by a fellow student who asked them to go to a nearby void deck, where they found a group of their schoolmates waiting for them.

She said they demanded to see her mobile phone, and when she refused to hand it over, they seized it.

About 10 people from the group then dragged the student and her friend to a multi-storey carpark, where she was slapped multiple times by one female schoolmate after refusing to unlock her phone.

The teenager said her friend left the carpark after being told by the group to leave.
