The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) had awarded a student, Saif Ahmed from Government College Nawabshah, for receiving first place in the Intermediate Pre-engineering Examinations. However, the college’s principal has revealed that the student is not even enrolled in their school.
According to The News, the board had notified the school that Ahmed received a total of 1200 marks, and had gifted him a gallantry sheild. But the principal confirmed to the newspaper that no boy with this name is in the college’s record of attendance, nor had he appeared in the examinations.
It was also revealed that Saif’s father, Altaf Pirzada, was an influential man who was the head of security at Bilawal House.
A college staff member also revealed to the newspaper that despite there being no mention of Saif’s name in the college enrollment or exams, the administration was being threatened by powerful members to cover up the fraud.
The issue came to light when during a ceremony held at Darbar Hall of the Deputy Commissioner’s office, where the Comissioner Aleem Lashari, Deputy Commissioner Shaharyar Gul Memon and BISE Chairman Dr Farooq Matti were present as special guests on the occasion. When Saif’s name was announced, the principal of the college came to collect the shield and revealed that the aforementioned student was not a member of his school.
