Investigative agencies have placed Al-Falah University in Faridabad under scrutiny following the unearthing of a terror module suspected to have links with the recent Red Fort blast in Delhi. Security officials believe that a group of individuals associated with the university may have used its facilities as a cover for terror-related activities.
University Allegedly Used as a Front
According to investigators, educated individuals linked to the module may have exploited the university’s academic environment to conceal their operations. Preliminary intelligence suggests that handlers based in Pakistan were in contact with the suspects, guiding their actions remotely.
The revelation has prompted central agencies to closely examine the university’s network, including its student and staff records, communication channels, and funding sources.
Red Fort Blast Connection
The development comes days after a deadly explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort, which killed at least 10 people and injured several others. Investigators probing the case have drawn connections between the Red Fort blast suspect Umar un-Nabi, a Pulwama-based doctor, and individuals who had links to Al-Falah University.
Officials are probing whether the terror module was being coordinated from within or around the university premises and if any faculty or administrative staff were aware of the activities.
Investigations in Full Swing
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Delhi Police Special Cell are jointly analyzing digital evidence, communication logs, and financial transactions to trace the full network of those involved.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of the campus being used as a recruitment or training ground under the guise of academic programs.
University Response and Security Measures
Sources said Al-Falah University officials have been questioned and have pledged full cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
Meanwhile, security agencies have intensified surveillance across educational institutions in Delhi-NCR, aiming to prevent further misuse of academic spaces for extremist activities.
Larger Concerns Raised
The case has reignited debate over the radicalisation of educated youth and the vulnerability of private universities to infiltration by extremist networks. Authorities have stressed the need for stricter vetting procedures and enhanced campus monitoring to safeguard academic institutions from exploitation.
