In Balochistan’s Zhob district, a clerk at the Government Model Higher Secondary School reportedly lost a large sum of money from ninth- and tenth-grade students’ exam registration fees in online gambling.
The school’s principal, Wazir Khan, confirmed that the clerk was responsible for safekeeping PKR 2.314 million, which was collected as examination fees from 878 students of grades nine and ten. However, when asked to deposit the fees, the clerk revealed he had lost the funds in online gambling on the platform “1X Bet.”
The principal mentioned that the deadline to submit fees to the Balochistan Board is October 30, and failure to do so could impact students’ exam registrations.
Upon learning of the incident, authorities arrested the school clerk, Shehzad Jamal, and filed charges against him.
