Al Falah University, located in the quiet village of Dhauj in the Faridabad district of Haryana, has recently come under intense scrutiny amid investigations into a Delhi blast and a suspected 'white collar' terror module. Authorities discovered approximately 3,000 kg of explosives at the residence of Dr. Muzammil Ganaie, a faculty member of Al Falah Medical College, which has escalated concerns regarding the institution’s involvement in these criminal activities.

This investigation took a more critical turn when a car exploded near the historic Red Fort in New Delhi, reportedly driven by Dr. Umar Un Nabi, another faculty member from the same medical college. Dr. Ganaie and Dr. Un Nabi are tied directly to the unfolding investigation, which has led to further arrests, including that of Dr. Shaheen Sayeed, who is suspected of affiliations with a newly formed group linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Al Falah University, established in 2014 and expanding to cover around 76 acres, was created with the intent of providing higher education alternatives for minority students, similar to institutions like Aligarh Muslim University. It started as an engineering college in 1997 and later incorporated medical training when its medical college was launched in 2019. Approximately half of the medical college's faculty come from Jammu and Kashmir, serving students predominantly from Haryana’s Mewat and Bihar regions.

The facility has gained attention not only for its educational role but also due to its connections with the recent arrests. Reports indicate that critical planning activities related to the explosive materials were allegedly coordinated from Room 13 at Al Falah Medical College. Investigators established that Dr. Ganaie utilized this room to manage logistics for transporting ammonium nitrate intended for various blasts.

In addition to these events, Al Falah University faces scrutiny over its accreditation status. While the institution’s website claimed current validation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), officials clarified that its accreditation had actually expired for the engineering and education departments. The medical college, however, is still under the oversight of the National Medical Commission (NMC), which is yet to announce actions regarding its status.

Additionally, Maulvi Ishtiyaq, a cleric associated with the university's campus religious activities, has been detained due to connections found with the explosives, further complicating the situation for the educational institution.

In response to the developments, Al Falah University’s vice chancellor, Bhupinder Kaur, has firmly denied any institutional connection to the arrested faculty members other than their roles as educators. She emphasized that the university is supportive of the ongoing investigations and expressed concern over the troubling circumstances surrounding the case. Kaur reassured that no hazardous materials are stored on campus and condemned the actions leading to the arrests.
