ISLAMABAD: The University of Karachi in its investigation has found that sons of staff members were involved in the harassment of two IBA students.
The incident happened at 11:30pm on October 5, when a student, Shaheer Ali, was dropping his female friend back to the IBA hostel at the varsity. He had dropped her off and he and another female friend were still within the university premises when 10 young men on four motorcycles surrounded them and began to follow them.
They then tried to get the car to stop and told the woman she should get out. They pounded on the windows, screaming for the girl to get out.
Ali gunned the car and drove to the main gate where guards were stationed. He wrote about the incident in a social media post.
The police has said that the university is investigating the matter internally and that no one from the administration had approached them, nor had the students who were harassed.
Security adviser Dr Moiz Khan is heading the investigation. On Thursday morning, he informed they have identified the 10 men involved in the incident. Dr. Moiz said they are all minors and the sons of staff members of the varsity.
They are currently being investigated, he told. He also confirmed that they have not handed over the matter to the police. Security adviser has said that we will investigate the matter and act according to the law.
Institute of Business Administration (IBA) Spokesperson Haris Tohid Siddiqui confirmed the incident and said the varsity had forwarded the matter to the Karachi University. The incident did not occur on IBA premises so it will be investigated by KU security and the Rangers, and we will be following up on it, he said. (With input from INP)
