Former BZU vice-chancellor
Court refuses to extend physical remand
Dr Alqama sent to jail as NAB investigators fail to gather sufficient evidence
From Our Correspondent
MULTAN: An accountability court on Wednesday refused extending physical remand of Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) former vice-chancellor Prof Dr Alqama and sent him to jail on judicial remand.
The decision came as the NAB investigators failed in producing sufficient ground required for the extension in physical remand. The NAB had arrested Dr Alqama on October 29 and kept him in custody for 35 days but failed to gather any solid evidence against him.
A special team of NAB and police had raided the BZU Vice-Chancellor House and rounded up Dr Khawaja while Registrar Malik Muneer had managed to escape. Dr Alqama, who had retired from his office on October 14, was arrested on the charges of gross financial irregularities committed in the establishing BZU Lahore sub-campus. The Lahore sub-campus owner, Muneer Bhatti, was arrested from Lahore on the next day.
The NAB says the former vice chancellor had allegedly misuse his authority and guilty of cheating public at large after the establishment of the ‘illegal’ sub-campus while violating the Public-Private Partnership Act and had appointed his son-in-law as director and sleeping partner without advertising the post.
