KU plans to file FIR against candidate caught cheating
Karachi: The administration of Karachi University has decided to disqualify for five years and file an FIR against a candidate who resorted to firing in the air when caught cheating in the MA exams and asked to surrender his answer script.
According to KU Campus Adviser Dr Khalid Iraqi, an external candidate Azeem Ali, son of Mohammad Ali, appeared in international relations paper of MA exams on June 13 at the centre set up at the Shaikh Zayed Islamic Research Centre.
"He was caught cheating and when the invigilator tried to take him to the administration the candidate fired in the air and ran away abandoning his documents," said the adviser.
When the university administration later probed into the matter to cancel the student's enrolment it was found that the photograph on the registration form was different from the one on the enrolment form, he said.
"The KU committee against unfair means then decided to disqualify the student for five years and file an FIR against him," said the adviser.
Nonetheless sources at the university pointed out that the presence of the invigilator at the time of filing an FIR was necessary whereas the invigilator was not really interested in doing so.
However, the sources said, "These are some of the delaying tactics by the administration."
