Bacha Khan University attack: Inquiry report blames VC

Islamabad - On January 20, at least 21 people, including a professor, were killed when terrorists stormed the university situated in Charsadda district.

 A three-member committee formed to fix responsibility of the terrorist attack on the Bacha Khan University (BKU) has reportedly held vice-chancellor and security in-charge of the varsity responsible for the tragedy.
On January 20, at least 21 people, including a professor, were killed when terrorists stormed the university situated in Charsadda district.
In its report submitted to the government, the committee was of the opinion that the vice-chancellor failed to put in place a proper security mechanism despite an advisory of worst security situation issued by the police.
It also held responsible security in-charge of BKU Ashfaq Ahmad, saying he "completely mismanaged the security issue. His sole duty was security but he has had no training or expertise (in this regard)".
The committee in its recommendation asked the government to take action against the aforementioned persons and remove them from service.
On January 23, DG ISPR Lt-Gen Asim Bajwa had said five facilitators of the Charsadda attack had been arrested. The attack was operated from Afghanistan, he added.
