Inquiry Committee formed against Punjab University…
Lahore : The administration of Punjab University has taken a significant step by forming a three-member inquiry committee to investigate multiple complaints submitted against the university’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Khurram Shehzad.

The committee has been constituted with the approval of the Vice Chancellor and has been directed to complete its investigation within one week and submit a detailed report along with recommendations.
According to official documents, the inquiry committee comprises Dr Nadir Shah, Dr Imtiaz Shafiq, and the Deputy Registrar (Administration). The committee will review the complaints, examine relevant records, assess available evidence and record statements from concerned individuals before finalising its findings.
Sources said that Khurram Shehzad has been serving as PRO on additional charge for several years. During this period, several faculty members reportedly submitted written complaints to the Vice Chancellor, alleging concerns regarding the use of official authority and the handling of administrative responsibilities.
The complaints reportedly include allegations relating to misuse of official resources, administrative conduct, procedural issues and other matters connected with the performance of duties. The allegations, however, will be subject to verification by the inquiry committee.
The Vice Chancellor has directed the committee to conduct a transparent review and submit its findings within the stipulated timeframe, after which any further administrative action will be considered in light of the inquiry report.
The formation of the committee has attracted attention within academic and administrative circles, with university stakeholders awaiting the outcome of the investigation.
