Bashir Agha :

Dr. Shaista, the assistant professor Sardar Bahadur Khan (SBK) Women’s University was an extraordinary and highly qualified teacher. She did her MS from Norway and Ph.D. from the UK. She got her post-doctoral research in the UK.

She was a competent researcher, a thorough scientist, and the backbone of the Faculty of Life Sciences at the SBK. She supervised hundreds of MPhil and Ph.D. students belonging to Quetta and other far-flung areas of Balochistan.

Dr. Shaista authored 40 research papers

Besides authoring around 40 research papers, she had also published books on marine snails. She was part of six international conferences in two of which she was the chief organizer. She was a professor loved by her colleagues and students alike.

She was the best human being I knew; a very sensitive, caring, loving, charming, smiling, personality. She loved nature and photography. She served SBKWU at a time when there were hardly any highly qualified faculty members. She was a diamond and her sad demise is a huge loss to our university. She will always live in our hearts. May Allah grant her peace and Jannah.

The dead body shifted to BMC hospital

The dead body of the assistant professor shifted to the Bolan Medical Complex (BMC) hospital for postmortem. A large number of faculty members and students also reached the BMC hospital. Students and faculty members demanded an independent probe into the incident.

Police reached the spot and an investigation into the incident went underway. Dr. Shaista belongs to Karachi and was teaching in the SBK for the last more than six years.

Terrorists targeted the university in June 2013

Terrorists had also targeted the university in June 2013. A female suicide bomber blew herself up inside the SBK killing female students and teachers. Despite threats and intimidation, the brave teachers and students of the Wome Univesity kept continued their studies. Since then, the security inside the university is tight.
