BZU Directorate of Distance Education Director Prof Dr Azra Asghar Ali would be the chairperson and BZU Director Academician Prof Dr Ashraf Khan and BZU Controller Examinations Prof Dr Mutahir Iqbal have been nominated as members. Interestingly, chairperson of the committee was actually responsible for irregularity who allowed the detained student to appear in the next semester without appearing or passing the previous semester as she reportedly got wrong approval from BZU VC Prof Dr Tahir Amin, in violation of University Act, BZU Calendar and the university rules for taking papers of a detained student in 4th semester.

The student was illegally allowed to appear in 5th semester examination without passing 4th semester. The second irregularity was that the papers were taken at the Distance Education Admin Officer Nasrullah’s office instead of examination hall.

When contacted, Admin Officer Nasrullah denied the allegations and said that the student took the papers of 5th semester at his office. The examiner took the papers at the available vacant room instead examination hall, he said.
