Peace be upon you. Regarding the person whose fingers you closed the door on, you are required to pay compensation (diya). You can determine the extent of the injury by asking him, as he may remember how many fingers were affected. If you can reach out to him, you may ask for his forgiveness, and if he forgives you willingly, then you have no obligation. As for the student who was punished by the teacher, you are not responsible for any compensation; it is the teacher who would be liable if compensation is due.
May you be successful in all good.
