CBM student Murdered!!! But how ? and Why
The strangled body of a student of the College of Business Management (CBM) bearing torture marks was found from within the Boat Basin police limits. The SSP, Clifton Town, Azad Khan, said that it was about noon when the Boat Basin police received a call that a dead body was lying inside a car parked near Marine Apartments. A police mobile reached the place and spotted the car, bearing registration number APJ-988. While scrutinizing the car, they saw a young boy lying dead in the rear seat. The police shifted the body to the hospital. SSP Khan said that, during a search of the deceased’s person, it was found to be the body of body Ali Nawaz Ostoo, son of the owner of a construction company, Iftekhar Ali Ostoo. The deceased was the resident of DHA, Phase-VI, Street-39. The family was immediately informed by the police. On reaching the hospital, they identified the deceased as their son Ali Nawaz. According to the family members, Ali Nawaz was a student of the first semester of the Business Management course at the CBM. On Thursday, around noon, Ali received a call on his cell phone from one of his friends, who had called him over for an Iftar-dinner in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. As per plan the plan, at about 6 p.m., Ali Nawaz left for the Iftar. They added that, on late Thursday-Friday night, when Nawaz failed to return, they got worried. Just as they were about to call him, a ransom call was received on their land line and the criminals demanded a ransom of Rs10 million for his release. The family immediately informed the CPLC and then the local police regarding the kidnapping of their son. On Friday afternoon, the dead body of Nawaz was found from Boat Basin police limits, following which friends of the deceased were detained for interrogation. According to the friends of the deceased, they had called Ali at about 6 p.m. and invited him to Gulshan-e-Iqbal for an Iftar-dinner function. Ali, they said, reached the place before Iftar and, after eating, they all went to Hot and Spicy at about 10.30 p.m. following which they moved towards Sharea Faisal to have their car refuelled.At the petrol pump, they continued, Ali received a call on his cell phone, and, during the conversation, they overheard Ali telling the caller that he was reaching his place. When they asked Ali who had called, he refused to disclose the caller’s name and left in his car by himself. SSP Azad Khan said that they had recorded the statements of the family and friends of the deceased, and, according to initial investigations, it was found that the ransom call was received at about 11.15 p.m.He added that the residents and eyewitnesses of the Marine Drive from where the car was initially spotted and then recovered told the police that the car was parked at the place early in the morning. The investigators had also collected the cell phone data from the cellular company and were verifying the addresses and persons who had spoken to the deceased on cell phone in and around that time. Further probe is on.

Serious Standards Shortfall at IoBM
I am an ex-member of the organisation, and I must say that the news was of great shock, but by no means I was disappointed as it is very much expected when I was told that students started to line up in the Parking Lot behind the Student Activity Centre even earlier then 3 Am on the 22nd November 2008. Ofcourse we cannot forget the disaster that took place last semester and a number of students were injured and the institute failed to take any responsible action.
The Management of the Institute is clearly not interested in facilitating the students of the Institute. What ever suggestions Amin Ur Rehman has given in his post on the IoBM community on Facebook, I must inform that such system had been designed, and also prepared to be implemented. however, the management was never interested in implementing the system. The proposal to develop the system was given by several software houses. Some students of the CBM also volunteered and designed the system, however, It was never allowed to pursued any further.
It is my belief that the institute is no longer interested in providing education to the students. Rather they have clearly made it a matter of an financial opportunity. The management is using Legal loop holes such as claiming to be a 'Non Profit Organisation'. Being a Non Profit Organisation, apparently the institutes's funding is not audited by any of the government or public agency, and even if it is, we all know how easy it is for institute of a corporate culture like the IoBM can bypass such enforcements. Being one of the key notions of being an NPO is making its financial information available to the member of the organisation (i.e. Management, Faculty, Students). Sadly, no such practice is in effect. I would not be able to comment at all on the financial management of the funds, however, it is clearly shown, that the management of the institute is very keen on developing building and sister organisations, rather then providing a foundation laying basic infrastructure of learning and educational resources. It can be very sadly concluded that IoBM has failed to provide even the very basic resources (such as library resources, electronic resources, computers, studying rooms or even a proper cafeteria) to its students, even being on of the most expensive institution in Pakistan.
Being very disappointed and nostalgic at the same time, I have found out that Mr. Khalid Bin Muhammad (KBM) has been made the IT manager. The person who is one of the most incompetent faculty member present in the staff. I am afraid, I can say it very confidently yet very uncomfortably, that such person being at such a key position, will not even be able to understand the system, left far alone, designing, managing or running a system which would facilitate the student to get out of the caveman era and get Technologically Charged!
I feel that the senior management of the institute has no longer any interest in providing the education and they are only concentrating on building thier own assets and maintaining a certain niche, so the new comer may be attracted to the college.
In the recent semesters, We have all witnessed that a number of people have effectively decided to quit studying at IoBM and move abroad if possible for them. At some cases, it has also been witnessed that student left IoBM and joined institutes like Karachi University, SZABIST and AMI. This should be of extreme shame to senior management, but their arrogance had blinded them to do what they are doing. And just because of the fact, they do not care, what the students, thier parents or any one related to them would say.
Whatever I have written above, might help understand the students of the institution and the pupil who intend on joining IoBM on the on going events, though I do very confidently doubt that it will have any effect on the senior management of the institution.
