Punjab University (PU) has suspended three employees and launched legal proceedings against them for their involvement in leaking two LLB examination papers. The decision follows an investigation by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) Lahore, which revealed the employees’ participation 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 caught providing examination papers to students in exchange for monetary compensation. The first paper was reportedly 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 commenced on August 23, 2024. In response to the leak, PU has not only suspended the implicated employees but has also annulled the exam papers of four students who bought the leaked papers. Additionally, the university has filed Unfair Means Cases (UMC) against these students.
PU’s swift action underscores its commitment to maintaining academic integrity and addressing corruption within its examination system.
