A student at Bahria College Islamabad has come forward with a claim that an examiner at her college sexually harassed 80 students. Saadat Bashir is a professor of biology at Islamabad Model College for Boys, and was sent by the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) to invigilate the exams at Bahria College.
One of the victims posted on Facebook that she was groped twice by Sadat during her practical exam on May 24. She also stated that the examiner did the same with almost 80 students and passed sleazy comments at them. The students were told not to speak up by their teacher as the examiner threatened them to deduct their marks.
The post is going viral on social media and calls for authorities to take an action against him.
Following the Facebook post, other victims have also come forward and made statements.
