Early Times Report
Jammu, May 23: The phrase, “Nero fiddled, while Rome Burnt”, aptly applies on Vice-Chancellor of Baba Ghulam Shah Bhadshah University (BGSBU), Prof IA Hamal, who is unaware about varsity affairs and is in Jalandhar.
Pertinently, Early Times in its Saturday’s edition had reported that a high level enquiry headed by Director Colleges Higher Education department, is investigating ‘Students scholarship scam’ in BGSBU and involvement of dismissed JK Bank employee Ajaz Malik’s involvement in entire scandal could not be ruled out.
The ET report was substantiated by Police and informed that JK Bank’s Rakibanh branch employee Ajaz Malik (Bank Associate) is only a pawn in the entire scholarship scandal but the main culprits are some employees and officials of varsity, who might have been running the scandal since long.
It was really strange to observe that a high level team of Higher Education department has been investigating the scholarship scandal but VC of varsity Prof IA Hamal was unaware and said that he was out of station.
Asked by this correspondent, “On 21st May you left varsity and today also you are in Jammu”, IA Hamal said that he was in Jalandhar and didn’t know anything about the matter.
Registrar of University, MR Choudhary and Deputy Registrar M Qasim Kohli didn’t pick up their phones.
Station House Officer Darhal, Mohammad Sharief informed Early Times that a case under FIR number 46/2015 under section 109, 409,420, 467, 468 RPC has been registered against Bank Associate Ajaz Malik.
Sharief further said that FIR has been lodged by the Branch Manager of JK Bank branch, in which Ajaz Malik (still absconding) was mentioned as culprit and scholarship amount to the tune of Rs. 213700 was shown as doled out to fake account.
“According to complaint lodged by JK Bank Branch, it is written that Ajaz Malik in connivance with some unknown employees of BGSBU were involved in transaction of more than Rs. 2 Lakhs into some fake account”, he said.
“Bank officials had initially conducted the internal enquiry and after dismissal of Ajaz Malik, they informed police and lodged a case against Ajaz Malik”, Shrief said, adding that Ajaz Malik was only a pawn and the involvement of varsity employees could not be brushed aside.
“Some University employees deliberately delayed cheques of scholarships of pass out students and also pointed out some students from far flung areas and weak financial background, who are not able to pursue their case. Once the students left pursuing his/her case, the amount was transferred to a fake account opened in the Rakibanh branch of JK Bank”, he said, adding that nearly Rs.2 Lakh’s transaction was done in one fake account in Rakibanh branch and there could be more fake bank accounts in other Bank branches and it was a matter of investigation.
He said that they have been collecting records pertaining to investigation and according to the requirement of investigation, University officials would be questioned.
Sources in the varsity pleading anonymity informed that Ajaz Malik (Bank Associate) was earlier working in the JK Bank’s branch in varsity campus and a few months back he was transferred to Rakibanh branch.
They further informed that a relative of Ajaz Malik (Bank Associate) was working in the University and was also holding a top post. His involvement could not be ruled out, sources said. |
