In a recent development, the Government of Sindh has suspended Professor Azhar Shah, the Pro Vice Chancellor of Sindh University Dadu Campus, following the circulation of a viral video on social media. The video allegedly shows Professor Shah in an inebriated state, using inappropriate language, and disrupting academic activities. According to Aaj TV Latest, the video depicts him 'dancing and waving at students before getting into a car,' which has sparked widespread criticism. The provincial minister for universities and boards, Muhammad Ismail Rahoo, confirmed the suspension, stating that the government acted swiftly 'to protect the dignity and reputation of the educational institution.' The notification issued on February 10th mandates a formal investigation into the matter within 15 days, ensuring transparency and allowing Professor Shah the opportunity to present his defense.
