Sahiwal Board Withholds 409 Matric Results Amid Fee Voucher Discrepancy Investigation

A fact-finding panel is investigating alleged embezzlement involving examination fees, which reportedly did not match bank records. Approximately 276,999 students took exams this year, but the audit revealed significant gaps in financial record-keeping. Officials confirmed that while most results were declared, some remain suspended pending the investigation's outcome.
