Faridabad Al Falah University clarifies non-involvement as terror investigation unfolds.

In a startling development, Al‑Falah University, located in Dhauj village, Faridabad, Haryana, has publicly issued a statement regarding its connection or lack thereof to an ongoing terror module investigation. The university is under scrutiny after three doctors employed by it were detained in connection with a high-intensity explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort and a large cache of explosives recovered in Faridabad. 

According to the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Bhupinder Kaur Anand, the institution has no connection with the individuals under investigation beyond their official duties at the university. In its statement, the university also described the reports linking it to unlawful activity as “baseless and defamatory.” The university’s message expressed shock and sorrow at the developments, stating its thoughts are with the innocent people affected.

Investigations show that the blast near the Red Fort was linked by authorities to a “white-collar” terror network operating across states including Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh. The probe revealed that a car used in the blast a Hyundai i20 had been purchased in Faridabad and had ties to one of the detained doctors. Moreover, explosive materials estimated at nearly 2,900 kg had been found in rented rooms in Faridabad attributed to the same module. 

This has placed Al Falah University in the spotlight, albeit as a peripheral institution in terms of direct involvement. The university claims that no explosives, weapons or illicit activity took place on its campus and that its faculty members had no role in the alleged terror plot beyond their employment.

While the university has clarified its stance, the incident raises deeper questions about institutional oversight, background checks of employees, and how easily extremist networks might embed within professional settings. For students, parents and staff at Al-Falah, the reputational damage may linger. According to security officials, agencies including the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have taken charge of the broader investigation. 

The takeaway: While an educational institution may assert non-involvement, the linkage of its faculty to an alleged terror module will prompt scrutiny and a period of reputational crisis. Time will tell whether the full probe confirms simply isolated individuals acting covertly or reveals deeper institutional vulnerabilities.
