Authorities place temporary ban on Rangers official after allegations of improper interactions with University of Kansas professor
In an unexpected turn of events, a Rangers official has been suspended following an incident of misconduct at Karachi University's Staff Town. The victim of the assault is Professor Dr. Afaq Ahmed Siddiqui, who was allegedly slapped by the official after requesting that garbage not be burned outside his residence, causing discomfort due to the smoke. As a result, Dr. Siddiqui's glasses were broken, and he sustained an eye injury.
The incident occurred when Dr. Siddiqui asked the Rangers official to stop burning garbage, a practice reportedly used to repel mosquitoes affecting goats kept nearby. The request escalated into a heated exchange, resulting in the alleged assault.
Following widespread condemnation from the Karachi University Teachers Society (KUTS), who demanded an impartial investigation and appropriate action against those responsible, the Rangers sector commander took immediate action. The official involved in the misconduct was suspended, and disciplinary proceedings were initiated. Senior Rangers officials met with Dr. Siddiqui, condemned the incident, and assured that strict action would be taken against the personnel involved.
Dr. Siddiqui expressed satisfaction with the steps taken by the authorities, including the Vice Chancellor of Karachi University and the Rangers leadership. The KUTS also appreciated the prompt response and actions taken by the university administration and the Rangers sector commander.
The Vice Chancellor of Karachi University assured that the issue would be resolved promptly, and no new facts were provided in this paragraph that were not already mentioned in the earlier bullet points. The KUTS issued a statement on Thursday, expressing their concern over the incident and demanding a fair and impartial investigation.
Professor Dr. Afaq Ahmed expressed gratitude to VC Dr. Khalid Mahmood Iraqi, KUTS President Dr. Mohsin Ali, and Secretary Dr. Maroof Bin Rauf for their actions. The Rangers sector commander also expressed regret and assured strict action against the personnel involved in the assault.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining professionalism and respect in all interactions, especially within educational institutions. The university administration and the Rangers sector commander have taken swift action to address the matter, and it is hoped that justice will be served in this case.
