FAISALABAD, May 2: The missing of an MSc physics student from the University of Agriculture took a serious turn after university authorities were found guilty of cover-up. University sources said that university authorities were bound to recourse to the area police immediately after the missing of any student from hostels.

It is a mandatory provision for the university to check the attendance of hostel students twice a day. But in this particular case, none of officials bothered to check the attendance of boarding students.

They further gave out that the university administration was informed about the missing of student Fayyaz Ahmed on April 17, but it played the role of a silent spectator to save its skin.

An application was also moved to the Civil Lines police for student’s recovery and the registration of a case. But the police simply entered the incident in its roznamcha after the print media and ran the report.

Despite the passage of 15 days, the police and UAF authorities could not find any clue to the missing student.

A group of hostel students urged upon the Punjab governor and the UAF chancellor to intervene in the matter and take steps for the early recovery of the missing student.

Fayyaz Ahmed had disappeared under mysterious circumstances from the university campus on April 17. The university administration and police are throwing the ball in the court of each other to avoid legal proceedings.
