A university in a quiet Faridabad village has found itself at the center of a terror probe following the recovery of explosives and the arrest of several suspects linked to the institution. Al Falah University, a 76-acre campus in Dhauj village, has been under scrutiny after 3,000 kg of explosives were discovered in the rented accommodations of a faculty member. A car explosion near the Red Fort in New Delhi on Monday further linked the university to the probe, with another faculty member suspected to be behind the wheel. The authorities have arrested Dr. Shaheen Sayeed, believed to be part of the newly formed Jamaat-ul-Mominaat, and detained Maulvi Ishtiyaq, a cleric who conducted sermons on campus. The university's medical college has emerged as a key location in the probe, with Room 13 becoming a focal point. Dr. Muzammil Ganaie allegedly used the room to plot logistics and transport routes for ammonium nitrate intended for multiple blasts. Al Falah University has faced questions over its accreditation, with the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation expiring years ago. The university's engineering and education schools claimed to have the accreditation on their website, but officials say it was never valid. The university's vice chancellor, Bhupinder Kaur, has stated that the institution has no connection to the arrested doctors apart from their official capacity. However, the university is extending support to the security agencies in the probe. As the investigation continues, the university's links to the terror module and the recovery of explosives have raised questions about its connection to the suspects and the planning of the blasts.
