Summary Saqiba’s brother has announced to stage a sit-in outside high court if demands are no met

QUETTA (Dunya News) – Law enforcers have not filed a case in suicide matter of Muslim Bagh college’s student more than a week after the incident, Dunya News reported Monday.

College fellows and sisters of late Saqiba are observing hunger strike on the fifth day against unnecessary delay in the matter. The protesters have said that a judicial commission that was vowed by the government has not been formed.

They alleged the police of partiality stating that the law enforcers are favouring the alleged responsible people.

The protesters have warned to continue strike until establishment of a judicial commission and registering of a case.

On the other hand, Saqiba’s brother announced to stage a sit-in outside high court along with others if family’s demands are not met.

Earlier on February 16, security personnel had recorded statements of family members. Sisters of the late student had then also demanded a judicial inquiry into the matter.

They claimed that Saqiba had not committed suicide and she was ‘murdered’ by the college administration. The bereaved family demanded the department concerned to take stern action against the college management.

Saqiba, one of the position holders of her class had committed suicide after principal halted her examination’s registration.
Reportedly, the student had requested the principal, Abida Ghous to appoint a female invigilator for girls.

To add to the tragedy, late Saqiba left a note addressed to the principal which roughly stated that she would question her on the day of judgment for the injustice she had to face.

According to investigations done on Dunya News part, principal’s brother-in-law named Mehmood, who serves as clerk in the college office holds a local seat as Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party’s (PkMAP) representative.

The principal reportedly had given authority to run all college affairs to her brother-in-law, the clerk.
