SUKKUR: The Registrar of the IBA University Sukkur has terminated the services of Deputy Director Human Resources Hussain Siddiqui, following the lingering controversy over the sexual harassment scandal in which the members of the varsity’s faculty and administration were accused.
In the termination notice, the IBA’s registrar has charged Siddiqui of being found guilty of manipulating girl students to record a video, accusing the members of the IBA faculty and administration of harassment and uploaded that on the social media. The Registrar has also served one-month notice to his mother, the widow of the late VC Nisar Ahmed Siddiqui, to vacate the VC’s residence.
Reacting over his termination, Hussain Siddiqui said he would file a contempt of court plea in the Sindh High Court bench at Sukkur. The SHC had forbidden the varsity from taking any action against Siddiqui till the next date of hearing. He also demanded a judicial probe into the sexual harassment allegations filed by three students of the IBA, Sukkur.
