Case involves defrauding students of about Rs17 million in terms of admission fee

PINDI BHATTIAN:

The educational future of over 300 students of Government Associate Girls College Pindi Bhattian is in jeopardy as the university has withheld their results, due to which the students are likely to lose two academic years.

Around 300 BA students at Government Associate Girls College deposited their admission fees with the college in April 2023, which the college staff regularly deposited in a private bank and received receipts. The students gave their third year and fourth year exams and when the results were announced in December, a large number of grades were not released on the university website.

A case has been registered against staff of the private bank with City Pindi Bhattian police station upon the complaint of the principal, for defrauding the students of about Rs17 million and withholding their results without cause.
