KU guard beaten by student
activists
Karachi
The University of Karachi (KU) witnessed yet another case of
lawlessness when activists of a student organisation severely beat a
security guard at the Maskan Gate of the university on Tuesday
evening. The guard had to be hospitalised.
According to the details, some students belonging to a student
organisation tried to enter Karachi University in a car with dark
window glasses. The guard on duty at the gate, Iqbal, asked them to
show their cards. At this, the students used abusive language and
then mercilessly thrashed the guard. The Rangers personnel stationed
at the gate remained a silent spectator.
Quite a large number of activists of the party gathered at the scene
and then proceeded to the administration building and allegedly
ransacked the office of the security officer Arman Ahmed and Student
Advisor Dr Tanweer Khalid.
An insider from the KU administration confided to The News that
there was a feud between Arman Ahmed and Campus Security Advisor Dr
Khalid Iraqi and the former wanted to use the occasion to put
pressure on Dr Iraqi. “Arman Ahmed wanted to obtain some money on
different pretexts and Dr Iraqi did not forward his requests as he
(Dr Iraqi) thought the demand dubious”, the source said.
Arman Ahmed denied the accusation saying that it was ‘far fetched’.
“There is always some professional jealousy and clash of interest,
but it has nothing to do with current situation”, he clarified.
Many calls to the office bearers of Employees Union and Officers
Association went unanswered.
