The superintendent of Government College for Women, Nazimabad, Muhammad Nafees, has absconded with ₹910,200 in cash that was collected from students as part of their exam fees. This was discovered after the college principal, Shehla Bashir, a Grade 20 professor, was alerted that students were unable to collect their admit cards, which had not been issued as expected.
The Situation
Upon investigation, it was found that Muhammad Nafees, a Grade 17 officer responsible for issuing the admit cards, had fraudulently collected the fees from around 81 students. Instead of depositing the amount into the college’s designated bank account, he kept the money.

Anti-money Laundering Report
In October 2024, the college had posted a notice on its wall warning students and parents against handing cash to any staff member and advising them to use bank vouchers for fee payments. Despite this notice, Nafees had still managed to collect the cash directly from students.
Investigation and Legal Action
The complainant, Principal Shehla Bashir, reported the incident and demanded legal action. She confirmed that Nafees was last seen at the college on January 25, 2025, and has since gone missing.
After the case was registered at Rizvia Society Police Station, a search operation was launched to locate and apprehend the suspect. Authorities have assured that Nafees will be arrested soon.
This embezzlement case has raised serious concerns about the handling of student fees and the trustworthiness of college staff.
