Inquiry commission clears IUB of obscene video scandal

Bahawalpur: The inquiry commission on Sunday dismissed the allegations surrounding the obscene videos scandal at Islamia University, deeming them baseless.

The commission determined that there were no videos on the security officer's phone, and the videos in question were unrelated to Islamia University. A forensic report on the video was also issued.

Previously, the Punjab governor took swift action by establishing a one-member tribunal to conduct a thorough investigation into the Islamia University Bahawalpur scandal.

A notification issued by the Punjab governor indicated that the newly formed tribunal would be led by Justice Sardar Mohammad Sarfraz Dogar.

The revelation of over 5,000 explicit videos at Islamia University sent shockwaves through Bahawalpur.

The sources said that the police were working to address the video scandal, and a report was submitted to the caretaker chief minister of Punjab.

Three officials, including the university's director of finance, Dr. Abuzar, Chief Security Officer Syed Ejaz Shah, and transport officer Altaf were arrested. However, the university administration labeled the arrest of these three officers as a conspiracy against the institution.

The report submitted to the caretaker chief minister revealed that numerous student videos and eight grams of the drug Ice were found in Ejaz Shah's possession.

On the other hand, DPO Abbas Shah refuted the allegations against Islamia University. He stated that it was discovered that 113 drug-addicted students were present at the university, and there was no bias against any institution.
