‘Cheating Allegations’: Students demand dismissal of cases

HANGU: Students of Government Degree College in Jhalka Mela held a protest outside the Hangu Press Club on Saturday against the Kohat Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) for registering “fake cases” against their classmates. They said invigilators accused a majority of the college’s intermediate students of using unfair means during board exams and registered cases against them with the Kohat board. According to the protesters, the accusations are baseless. Kifayatullah, one of the protesters, said the staff deputed at the examination centre fabricated fake cases against the college students and the Kohat BISE is doing nothing to address their grievances. “The relevant officials are not bothered to take steps to withdraw unlawful cases against our classmates,” said Abdullah, another student.
