New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has intensified its probe into the alleged terror links of doctors associated with Al-Falah Medical College, Faridabad, following the Red Fort blast that killed at least ten people in Delhi. Officials said that the NIA team has sought all university records dating back to 2019, including faculty employment details, payment records, and hostel registers.

Officials privy to the investigation confirmed that several faculty members and students are currently being questioned to determine how individuals with suspected terror links — including Dr Mohammad Umar Un Nabi, Dr Muzammil, and Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan — were employed at the institution. Dr Nisar, who joined the university in 2022, was previously terminated by the Jammu & Kashmir administration under Article 311(2)(c) for alleged anti-national activities.

The NIA will also examine the financial transactions of the university, including the mode of salary payments made to the accused and other staff members. The Al-Falah University management, in a statement earlier this week, said it was fully cooperating with investigating authorities and reiterated that the institution had “no links with any unlawful activity”.

Submit probe report at the earliest: Amit Shah to NIA

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has directed the agency to submit its investigation report at the earliest as well as instructed the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to analyze and match the samples collected from the blast site and provide a comprehensive report on the explosion without delay.

The minister also directed security agencies to "hunt down each and every culprit" involved in the incident, saying those responsible "will face the full wrath of our agencies."
