The Central Police Academy announced on the 16th that it held an education operation committee meeting and decided to expel four trainees who committed 'obligatory violations among peers' by the principal's authority in accordance with school regulations.

On the 3rd, a post was uploaded on an online community where Central Police Academy trainees gather, stating that "I am being collectively bullied by classmates."

At that time, the victim stated that older trainees would single out one person and verbally abuse them in a classroom where the entire class was present, and younger trainees sprayed a liquid, whether water or beverage, on the victim's neck, soaking their clothes.

Subsequently, the school separated the perpetrators and the victim and launched an investigation. The school reportedly concluded that it was not a simple prank but had the intent to bully.
