Al-Falah University Under Scanner: Doctors Missing, Chemicals Vanish After Delhi Blast
Faridabad (The Uttam Hindu): After the Delhi blast, Al-Falah University, now under investigation has come under intense scrutiny, revealing several shocking details. Interrogation of more than 12 staff members has shown major contradictions in their statements. Investigators also learned that several doctors suddenly disappeared on the day of the explosion, while many faculty members went underground under suspicious circumstances on the night of November 10.
Agencies discovered that many suspects had abruptly deactivated their social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, and X. Their mobile phones were also found switched off. These developments have strengthened suspicions of wider involvement in the terror conspiracy. Officials revealed that several doctors and staff members left the university without informing anyone after the blast. Bank accounts of some individuals were found to contain more than ₹2 lakh, which have now been frozen. Investigators are examining money trails, call records, and chat histories at high speed.
Chemicals Stolen from University Lab Under the Name of ‘Projects’
Another major revelation came during the probe: accused doctors Muzzammil, Umar, and Shine were secretly removing chemicals from the university lab by labeling them as material required for student projects or medical studies. During the inspection, officials found that several glassware items, chemical testing kits, ammonium nitrate, and other materials did not match official records. Many kits and lab items were missing without any entry in the register. The accused allegedly removed the chemicals in small quantities, hiding them in their bags or vehicle trunks to move them out of the campus. Chemicals associated with ammonium nitrate testing were also found missing.
NIA Intensifies Investigation
The NIA is now questioning the arrested suspects to determine which chemicals were taken, when they were removed, how they were used, and who was directing the entire process. The agency is also investigating whether foreign handlers were guiding the accused regarding the quantity of chemicals and the technique used in assembling explosives.
