The Delhi Police Special Cell and Madhya Pradesh Police raided the home of Al-Falah University director Javed Ahmed Siddiqui in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, on Friday. The family members were questioned in connection with the Red Fort blast that occurred on Monday. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has widened its probe into the alleged terror network operating through Al-Falah Medical College and its parent university in Faridabad. The agency is seeking records dating back to 2019 as part of the ongoing investigation. According to officials, the NIA and Delhi Police teams raided the Okhla office of the Al-Falah Group on Thursday and seized land documents and financial files. The agency is looking into whether the three doctors involved in the blast exploited their positions to recruit others, raise funds, and coordinate logistics for the attack. A joint team of police officers from Delhi and Madhya Pradesh reached Mhow early on Friday and carried out searches to verify financial trails and check possible links between Siddiqui and the two MBBS doctors arrested earlier this week. As of now, no connection of the university has been found to the attack, the officers said. The university's legal advisor, Mohammad Raazi, stated that the campus was never used for any funding or experiment linked to terror and that the police have taken documents and are fully cooperating. The widening terror probe has raised scrutiny of Al-Falah University's management and financial practices. Delhi Police officers said Siddiqui, who has long been associated with the Al-Falah group since the 1990s, is linked to at least nine institutions, many of which operate from a common Okhla address. Siddiqui was previously arrested in a cheating case in 2000 for allegedly misappropriating ₹7.5 crore from investors through fake investment firms. More raids are expected in Delhi, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh as investigators try to ascertain the financial and logistical details of the module's plan.
