New Delhi, November 15: In the wake of a deadly blast near the Red Fort Metro Station that resulted in 12 fatalities and numerous injuries, the Delhi Crime Branch has registered two separate FIRs against Al-Falah University, located in Faridabad. The charges include cheating in the first FIR, and forgery in the second, according to Delhi Police.
Investigating possible connections to the bombing, Delhi Police officials visited the university's Okhla office to collect evidence and examine any potential links. As part of the inquiry, a notice has been issued to the university, requesting relevant documents for further scrutiny.
This action is part of ongoing efforts by law enforcement to enhance security and prevent future terrorist activities. Authorities are committed to ensuring accountability for anyone involved in the attack and addressing any role the institution may have played.
In response to the investigation, the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has decided to suspend Al-Falah University with immediate effect. This precautionary measure aims to uphold academic integrity and prevent any misuse of the institution during the investigation. The suspension will remain in place until the inquiry is concluded and the university’s possible involvement, if any, in terror-related activities is clarified.
The AIU has emphasized that the suspension is a temporary step to ensure the safety and credibility of educational institutions amid growing concerns over national security. Following the Red Fort blast, security agencies have ramped up surveillance and checks across educational establishments and public areas, given the alarming implications of urban terrorism and extremist networks operating in sensitive locations.
Authorities are now working to determine if there were any links between Al-Falah University and individuals connected to the bombing. This incident has ignited a broader debate on the security protocols in educational institutions, underscoring the critical need for heightened vigilance to avert future attacks.
