A sexual harassment scandal has surfaced at the University of Malakand, Chakdara.
Local police have registered an FIR on complaint of a girl student from sixth semester of Pakistan Studies course. The student said in her complaint that the professor would invite girls to immoral activities in different ways. He allegedly offered girls additional marks in exchange for their naked videos. The student also alleged that the professor also barged in her house in a bid to kidnap her.
According to sources, police have arrested Prof Abdul Haseeb, who is allegedly at the centre of the sexual harassment, after a naked video was found in his phone. The administration of the University of Malakand was trying to push this scandal under the carpet, but failed. The university administration was reluctant to take action against the professor even after some students came forward with allegations of sexual harassment against him.
The University of Malakand said it has suspended the professor and a harassment committee is taking care of this matter. The university said that further action will be taken against the professor if allegations against him are proven.
