NAWABSHAH: A final year student of the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University, Nawabshah, on Sunday accused the head of her department of harassing her for months.

She told press conference along with her father at the local press club that she kept complaining against the teacher to the vice chancellor but the latter never took action against him.

She claimed that her father also approached the varsity administration but was threatened with dire consequences.

“I have been under immense mental strain for months and cannot bear it anymore,” she said, and urged the media to help her.
