RAHIM YAR KHAN: Apropos a Jan 2 report --‘Illegal’ appointments on IUB syndicate agenda -- a press release of the Khawaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology, RYK, says security officer Abdul Wadood was not terminated.

Rather, his stay in an official residence was terminated/cancelled on a court order but he is still working with the varsity. According to our correspondent, the story was based on an earlier information provided by the KFUEIT.
