Last year on October 21, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) had formed a five-member committee to look into the causes that led Lahore’s MAO College lecturer Muhammad Afzal to commit suicide.
Led by the vice-chancellor of the University of Okara, the committee will probe into the matter and submit a report within seven days. It had been empowered to call any relevant person in connection with the probe.
Afzal, a lecturer of English at the Government MAO College, had reportedly ended his life by consuming a toxic substance last week after being accused of sexual harassment by a female student. He had written a letter to the harassment committee’s inquiry officer, Dr Aalia Rehman seeking exoneration from the charges.
