Interim Punjab chief minister Mohsin Naqvi has announced his decision to form a judicial commission for investigation into the Bahawalpur university scandal.

“Anti-harassment cells will be formed in all universities,” he said at a meeting on Monday. “Women professors will be in charge of these cells.”

The alleged recovery of drugs and sex racket in the Islamia University Bahawalpur (IUB) has shocked the nation. Police have so far arrested three suspects as part of their investigation into the case.

A complaint registered against one of the suspects says that police found “innumerable obscene videos and photographs of women” on two mobile phones they recovered from him.

The universities will bring out the facts after a comprehensive investigation, Naqvi said who was presented with a report on the scandal during the meeting.

The caretaker Punjab government’s decision comes a day after National Food Security and Research Minister Tariq Bashir Cheema said that he has asked the interim Punjab CM to conduct a judicial inquiry into the incident.

“I have written a letter to the caretaker Punjab CM to conduct a judicial inquiry into the incident,” he told reporters on Sunday.

An application was filed for the registration of a case against the university’s vice chancellor at the City Police Station on Sunday.

The former vice chancellor of university, Athar Mehboob, as the head of the institution, had the responsibility to prevent such incidents, said the application. It alleged that Mehboob proved to be completely unsuccessful in stopping such shameful incidents.

“Such actions in a holy institution of the university teaching have brought the Islamia university into international disrepute, so the police should file a case against the vice chancellor,” said the application by a citizen named Chaudhry Sohail Ahmed.
