EDUCATION secretary Gavin Williamson is being pressed by Sikh MPs and organisations to urgently act to clamp down on bullying of Sikh schoolchildren after a shocking video of violence emerged.

West Mercia Police confirmed today that an attack on a Sikh schoolboy, which was filmed by witnesses and posted on social media, is being treated as a hate crime and that an investigation is ongoing.

The video seen by the Morning Star shows two boys kicking a Sikh boy, and tackling him to the floor before repeatedly punching him in the head. His turban also appears to have been pulled off.
