New Delhi: The crime branch of Delhi Police has filed two FIRs against Al-Falah University for alleged offences of cheating and forgery, and searched its premises in Delhi and Faridabad. Police have also issued a notice to the university seeking certain documents, sources said.Meanwhile, the special cell, which is probing a deeper conspiracy behind Monday’s car bomb blast near Red Fort, carried out raids and searches on premises linked to the university and doctors from there, besides six locations in Nuh. Six people, including two doctors and a cleric, have been detained.One of the doctors, picked up from Ahmadbas village in Haryana’s Mewat district, was asked if alleged bomber Dr Umar Un Nabi had met him before the blast. Umar’s location, while he was on his way from Ferozepur Jhirka to Delhi, came near this village, an officer said.The other doctor belongs to Pathankot and had worked at the university in 2020-21. “The doctor was in telephonic communication with staff posted at Al-Falah University. It is being examined whether he was in touch with Umar,” said an officer. The university-cum-hospital, located at Dhauj in Haryana’s Faridabad district, has been at the centre of the blast investigation following the arrest of its doctors. Umer worked at its hospital. The investigation has revealed that room no. 13 in building no. 17 of the university was used as a key hideout where the blast plan was hatched and explosive materials were gathered, said sources.The two FIRs, the crime branch said, were registered following complaints and actions initiated by University Grants Commission and National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Both bodies have flagged serious irregularities at the university in their assessment and inquiry reports. On Thursday, NAAC also issued a show-cause notice to Al-Falah University for displaying false accreditation on its website. “The first FIR has been lodged for cheating while the second FIR pertains to the alleged false accreditation claims,” a senior officer said. The university website says it was established by the Haryana assembly under Haryana Private Universities Act. According to the NAAC notice: “Al-Falah University, which is neither accredited nor applied for accreditation by NAAC, has publicly displayed on its website that it is an endeavour of Al-Falah Charitable Trust, which has been running three colleges on the campus, namely Al-Falah School of Engineering and Technology (since 1997, Graded A by NAAC), Brown Hill College of Engineering and Technology (since 2008), and Al-Falah School of Education and Training, Graded A by NAAC.” It called the claims “absolutely false and akin to misleading the public, especially the parents, students and stakeholders”.About the AuthorAbhayAbhay is a Special Correspondent at The Times of India, Delhi, with extensive experience in investigative journalism.
