A medical student at Riphah International University (RIU) Rawalpindi, who had been failing exams for four consecutive years, on Tuesday shot dead the vice chancellor of the varsity inside his office. Vice Chancellor Brigadier (r) Sanaullah was shot dead by Khurram Shahzad, a final year student at the university, at around 10am on campus. “Shahzad entered the university campus carrying a pistol and passing through several departments, finally fired four shots in the vice chancellor’s office resulting in his death on the spot,” a police official said.
Police quoting eyewitnesses said Shahzad also opened fire at other teachers including Professors Ayaz Bhatti and Inamul Haq, but fortunately they escaped narrowly. However, the vice chancellor was shot at point-blank range in his head and died on spot. Soon after the incident police reached the scene of the crime and took the dead body into their custody. It has now been shifted to the hospital for autopsy.
Shahzad fled from the scene after killing the vice chancellor but was later overpowered by the university security guard outside the university premises and handed over to the police. Professor Mansur said that Shahzad had been enrolled since 2002, and had repeated his fourth year four times. He had earlier been expelled by the administration, but was enrolled once again after his parents had pled the university authorities to allow him to continue his studies. “Shahzad was suffering from depression as he repeated his fourth year four times,” he said. The real cause which compelled Shahzad to kill the vice chancellor could be ascertained after complete investigation.
Ayaz Bhatti, who narrowly escaped, said Shahzad first opened fire at him and another colleague and later entered the vice chancellor’s office and shot and killed him at point blank. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Yaseen Farooq said according to preliminary investigation Shahzad had killed the vice chancellor due to depression tied with his having to repeat his fourth year four times. However, he said police would investigate the incident from various angles to ascertain the real cause of the incident.
RIU is located in Rawalpindi on Peshawar Road in the limits of R A Bazaar police station. It was established in 2002 by the Islamic International Medical College Trust (IIMCT) and is a non-profit welfare organisation registered with the government of Pakistan. Police have registered an FIR against Shahzad and started investigation.
Why was the psycho person re-admitted after he was expelled from the medical college? So it means They Have Asked For It. PERIOD.
You idiot!
no doubt he is an idiot!what a stupid thing to say!
Shahid mian,You are a schmuck.
PERIOD
How could a person like this be a doctor? He would use a pistol instead of an injection for his patients. We, the Pakistanis, are already standing on the edge. These type of incidents are just a curse.
if professors do justice with their students their stiudents there would no such accidents…………… in my university KEMU many students commit sucide coz of professors…….. so everything has a cause….
are you zahid sipra? ma b KEMU say hon yar, "Many students commit suicide"…….tm wakai KE main thay????
4 years VC ka murder plan kernay ki bajaye parh leta to ye fail na hota.
I dont know much abt the case and i am not defending the act he did but let me rephrase ur question. how a human being can be murderer?? But matter of fact we have this world full of killers. so before imposing ur judgments try to understand the context and situation or better to leave things on justice system.
he was forced to repeat 4th year for 4 times. have u ever thought what does it mean?
how does it feel? if he passed 1st year 2nd year 3rd year how could nt he pass 4th year in 4 years han… this mad him psycho and this was the motive for his act…
I am agree with u Mr. Imran. We all know what is going on in our universities marks are given on the basis of favoritism and gender discrimination,some times such thing force students. we should also remember the suicide by a LUMS student several years ago.
TRUST ME ….ANY ONE CAN FAAIL IN ANY YEAR…PASSING 3 PROFFS DOESNT GUARANTEE ULL PASS THE 4TH YEAR…WHAT HE DID WAS PURE PSYCHO
whats there to "like" in this news?
the student of the islamic university did sumthing which should be done many years ago the professors of that particular university torture students ,humiliate them as a student we have no self respect and everybody knows how difficult it is to get into medical college education department or pmdc should take strict actions against the uni professors the so called molvis commented by a student of iimc
good job
ajj kal her university mein kia haal hai professors ka…every one is upset by the behavior of the biased professors…They Love Girls and give good marks to them but they ignore boys very badly…
too much torture is the cause,,,, its a private university,,,, he must have spent millions of rs for the four year he had to repeat,
honestly if I was in his shoes i would have done the same.. being a professional teacher myself I feel I deserve to die like this if one of my students fails four times in the same class.. it must be noted here that every student is the responsibility of the institution he attends.
i really appreciate what this guy did. he sent a very clear message to all those "BHUDHAE " professors who think they are above the rest. come on people face it.. I can bet my life on this that this student was failing not because of his own inefficiencies but because of some internal conspiracy or personal grudges of the Professors.
all those who have ever attended medical college would agree the professors are literally RETARDS.. who think of themselves as the most superior being to walk on this planet. and consider the students as pieces of *****…
i am not an extremist but seriously i salute this individual for his bravery and for standing up for his rights.. and let it be a lesson to all Pakistanis who prefer sitting at home suffering all the wrong that happens to them.. stand up for your rights…
Ali- you are DEFINITELY not a "professional teacher" if you have these kinds of views. You say you're not an extremist – i disagree. I can only imagine what you are preaching to your students.
This guy failed repeatedly. I think the light bulb should've gone off in his parents head that their son is NOT capable of becoming a doctor.
We are/were all students of some "Budhaes", but we don't go around shooting them because of our failures. That's just unacceptable. Maybe if it was one of your father or some relative your view would be different
What's done is done. A life has been lost. May Allah give the VPs family strength and patience to get through this difficult time and may Allah swt grant him the highest of Jannah's.
Oh, and be careful what you bet your life on. You might just lose that gamble:/ Allah is All Knowing and Just.
Every student is the responsibility of the institution he attends? OK. Right. And what is the responsibility of that student? Sab kuchh professors k ser pay daal k baitha rahay? Shouldn't he himself do some struggle as well. ( Struggle for study, not for planning murders)
so r u gonna support him me being a student of that uni cant support that person if ur a professor and think he is right speak support him its so easy to comment on any site and comment but nobody can stand for right in reality
the Professors in our Country arent young and have no vigour to succeed ….. they are so arrogant of the fact that they are what the they are…….. they usually do things which force their students to resort to such things………. its not the first time this has happened……… its only the first time it has come open to us all……….. Universities are places where the student cant rise in anyways and private institutions such as these take away your confidence before u can stand up to anything…….. these people cause such desperation so the students either kill themselves or their teachers……… Specially the old teachers who are so proud of what they have achieved that they cant look down upon their students ………. although we go to them as our beacon of hope yet they think us as minnions :S
he should kil himself
I happened to read this news today in a newspaper in the morning.. To begin with what i want to say, i would like to tell i am not taking side of any one of them. Im a fresh graduate from Fatima Jinnah University. I recently had my thesis. But to tell u honestly, this boy did a right thing somehow because sometimes one's professors and teachers really become a cause of one's anxiety and depression because of the favoritism with their other students. I had spent four years in my university where I had no friend or colleague to guide me either. And the teachers were really SubahanAllah! I odnt know what makes these teachers so proud!!! Just becoz they r senior 2 us!! Sometimes really they forget that we students are human as wel! they r ruthless and merciless often. I had same teachers Ma'am Darakshan Batool, Ma'am Afshan Jamal, Ma'am Ayesha Mazhar, whom me and few of my classmates really felt 2 throw shoes on once we'd pass out from here.. They were the older times, when it was said teachers are like your parents!!! They r but not teachers like what we see today!! they donot deserve to be teachers either! This boy passed his four years well!!! why is it so tht he ws only failing his last year??? no way! He had the capability thats y he had been trying it again n again.. but these professors and vice principal had been continuously failing him thts 4 sure! Same happened in my class once. A poor innocent class fellow of mine submitted her final project to ma'am Afshan Jamal which had the most expensive printing! That bitch (sorry to call her with that name but this is how she is like) didnt like it and ordered her to make it again and submit it within one day! She did that again and submitted it and again that bitch refused it and ordered her to make it again the third time! The third one which she submitted was accepted by that bitch! but she marked the 1st one though; she just wanted poor girl's father's money to b spent as a punishment!!! Y shud v hav sympathy with MR. Sana Ullah bastard??? wat kind of a professor was he wen he cudnt even look through y his student was unable to get through his final year??? (Im sure he ws failing him intentionally) Was he only there to relax and hav a cup of tea wen a depressed student becums depressed day by day wen he sees his colleagues getting passed out?? For al those who are against my views, just put urself in place of that boy and feel hw bad it feels when you enter a college to becum a doctor in 5 years and you gets stuck in final year and spend 4 years more; in total 8 long years of ur life!!!! ITS REALLY FRUSTRATES!
i think he did right . i m going through a similar situation in MUST university.
and our chairman is a psycho, he blames me for every thing hapn wrong in campus and in past 4 months he made 9 cases on me just to torture me.
but my revenge policy is diff i torture chairman in reply.
n i il never bow in front of him. this wat our teachers are doing with us making us psycho.but bros n sis REMEMBER YOU R THE ONE WHO IL CHANGE SYSTEM.
It's so sad to see some of these posts. The mindset of some "professionals" is really questionable.
Fiza Zia, you have no shame and NO fear of Allah. You are a medical student and one day you might have to teach. This life lost could have been your father, uncle or brother. I know then your view would be different! Your post is so heartless and cold. I think you need to get some medical help. If you have this type of thinking, God knows what you are capable of doing.
And Basit, so what if your chairman is blaming you. Get over it! if you know you are right in front of Allah, move on. You people sound so immature. This is what's wrong with the youth of today…NO respect and no remorse for human life. Maybe you guys are so used to seeing dead bodies that you have no sympathy for the dead!
Remember, you too are gonna leave this duniya one day. Whether your good or bad, you're gonna want everyone to make dua for you.
And when did VPs of school start marking student exams?!? The board does that. This guy had murder on his mind, and not one murder, many murders. Luckily he sucked at shooting. Or else there would be many more dead. Whether he gets punished in this duniya or not, INSHALLAH he will get punished in akhirah. That will be a much more just punishment.
Allah guide us all and protect us from the whisperings of shaitan. Allah give the family strength and patience to get through this difficult time and Allah grant the VP the highest of Jannahs.
people who r mentally ill themselves and who require medical help themselves advise others 2 go for it!! Go get a life ur ownself before advising others how to give their views!!!
and secondly miss/mister so called kind person, im nt a medical student! Think before u write! and secondly my father and brother are not like Mr.Sana!!! Not even my grandfather, who knws this buddha very well!!!
Bhabi gee or bhaabz bhai jan, i guess u have a confirm ticket of Jannat!!! ohoo ohoo… ek humein b de do na pleaaaaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeee.. plz plz plz .. hahahahahahaha.. wake up!! n stop dreaming So called mature personality!!!
Hats off 2 u Bhaabz! The replies u got r ur victory, I think. Truth is always difficult 2 digest. And the truth u described, is difficult 2 digest 4 some people.
Bachon ki tarah ha ha he he kernay say hi pata chal jata hai k logon ki kya mentality ho gi. I hope u've understood for whom I'm talking.
lolz… haha .. buhat maza aaya , the VC of my university shall also be shot dead , along with the dean … [JUST JOKING] :p
but yes its very sad – i think the university shall offer counseling and other advising facilities, just to make sure that no such thing happens in future aned the student's frustration is tackled
i strongly agree with u Mr. Liaquat …this should really be happend. the counseling services can really reduce such problems. poor education system ..we ve
well what i think he did was a very good thing ….. we who actually have been in this system could imagine that how pathetic these molvis are and how they humiliate their students ….. welll it was a good act and i think it was a lesson for all that they should stop doing this all with students ,,,, and wen there are no rules and higher bodies to take acts against such professors students are forced to do so
Sanam you're another sicko! Wait till this happens to one of your family members. Then we'll see if its the good thing or not.
Since you are a product of the "system" then I take it you're gonna turn out to be a "pathetic molvi" yourself. GROW UP!!!
bhaabz its so easy for u to analyze the story and throw a comment we as students know how difficult it is to get into medical college and then face these biased teachers the brig was a biased guy and all students are eye witness he has humiliated many students badly and its not acceptable there are many like him still alive in that building the future doctors are in the hands of these failure proffesors
good work….! these kind of VCs, teachers professors deserve this!
excellent! keep it up and what will be future of that guy?
although its a bad news, but majority of the teachers is materialistic , biased and unfair to their profession. They just work for money. But still teacher is teacher, and should not be treated like this.
If he would have been a son of MPA, MNA, Minister of General then he must not have been failed this long.
Medical teachers are all living at clouds they think i am every thing so they don’t think and do what seems right to them alas
