Financial Corruption Unveiled at Lahore College for Women University (LCWU), the Largest Government Women’s University in the City. A scandal involving millions of rupees has emerged within the intermediate college funds. Over the course of two years, clerks within the college section colluded with officers to siphon off fees.
Despite the university treasurer, principal of the college section, and acting VC being aware, they remained passive observers. Extensive research conducted by the university has brought everything to light. Despite the detection of corruption amounting to 3 crore 12 lakh, the university has thus far failed to provide concrete evidence and has taken comprehensive measures to suppress the issue. Plans are underway to address this matter during the upcoming syndicate meeting scheduled for February 16th.
Sources reveal that corruption within Lahore College for Women University’s intermediate section during the 2021-2022 two-year investigation has been exposed. During this period, funds collected as fees, and deposited through fraudulent forms, were illicitly distributed among officers and employees.
Despite the extensive investigation, both the university and college section treasurers have failed to produce any of these fraudulent forms. Furthermore, it has been reported that in response to the revelation of financial corruption, Dr. Shagufta Naz, the acting vice-chancellor, has formed an inquiry committee consisting of individuals previously implicated in corruption, ostensibly to shield them and perpetuate the corruption.
In an attempt to shield the implicated officials from scrutiny, offers of moderate restitution have been extended, along with the lure of transfers to the University Treasurer’s Office. Dr. Shagufta Naz, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Lahore, intends to confer syndicate powers upon the inquiry committee during the syndicate meeting scheduled for 10 am on February 16th, with the aim of suppressing corruption. It is noteworthy that all individuals implicated in financial corruption have confessed to financial irregularities in front of the acting vice-chancellor.
