Punjab University (PU) has suspended three employees and initiated legal action against them for their involvement in leaking two LLB examination papers. This decision comes after an investigation by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) Lahore, which uncovered the employees’ role in the scandal.
The suspended staff members include Key Punch Operator Athar, Naib Qasid Mohsin, and Junior Clerk Usman. According to the university administration, these individuals were found selling exam papers to students in exchange for money. The first paper was sold for Rs 35,000 and Rs 6,000 by two of the employees, while the third employee sold the second paper for Rs 100,000.
The LLB annual examinations for parts I through V began on August 23, 2024. Following the leak, PU not only suspended the involved employees but also invalidated the exam papers of four students who purchased the leaked papers. The university has also filed Unfair Means Cases (UMC) against these students.
PU’s prompt actions demonstrate its dedication to upholding academic integrity and combating corruption within its examination process.
