The University of Karachi (KU) on Monday cancelled the admission of a student of Public Administration department, accusing him of ‘damaging’ the prestige and reputation of the institution.
Although the university did not mention the reason for terminating the student, sources reveal that Araib Khan was expelled for inviting model Ayyan Ali to the university.
The registrar of university, Dr. Moazzam Ali Khan, issued a notification in this regard.
Spokesperson for the university, Farooq, said that the administration had earlier issued a show cause notice to Araib Khan but he failed to submit a satisfactory reply after which the decision was taken to cancel his admission.
He further informed that university has banned the entry of a former student Abdullah Rizwan Shaikh on university premises, since he was also found guilty of damaging the institution’s reputation.
Both the students will not be allowed to take admissions in any course or department of KU in future.
There was much brouhaha on social media and news channels when photos of supermodel and singer Ayyan Ali emerged of her visit to the Department of Public Administration.
As the chief guest, she was invited to inaugurate a fast food joint, a venture of Araib Khan and Abdullah Rizwan Sheikh, students of the DPA, who intended to donate a certain part of the revenue generated to the disabled.
