SUKKUR: The deputy director, Human Resource Management, IBA Sukkur, Hussain Siddiqui, on Friday filed a petition in the Sindh High Court, circuit bench, Sukkur, against the university’s management and others regarding the ongoing video scandal.
Reports said Hussain Siddiqui, son of former vice-chancellor, IBA Sukkur, late Nisar Ahmed Siddiqui, has maintained in his petition that he has been targeted by Engineer Zahid Khand, Registrar of the IBA Sukkur, on account of some personal enmity.
