Al Falah University : Site Taken Down, Accreditation Notice, ED Heat

New Delhi : Troubles don’t seem to end for Haryana’s Al-Falah University after it came into the spotlight following its links to the Red Fort blast accused and a terror module involving the Jaish-e-Mohammed. On Thursday, the university’s website was taken down as it received a show-cause notice from NAAC for displaying a false accreditation claim.

The institution in Faridabad’s Dhauj village grabbed national attention after it emerged that Dr Umar Nabi, who carried out the Red Fort blast, killing 13 people, was employed there. Apart from Dr Umar, two of his accomplices, Dr Muzammil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Shahid, part of a “white collar” terror network, also worked at the university. The busting of the terror module and the arrests of doctors Muzammil and Shaheen have drawn increased scrutiny of the functioning of the university.

The NAAC said the ‘Grade A’ accreditation displayed on the university’s website was “absolutely wrong and misleading the public”. The Al-Falah administration has been asked to respond in seven days. The Al-Falah School of Engineering and Technology’s ‘Grade A’ accreditation expired in 2018, while that of the Al-Falah School of Education and Training was valid from 2011 to 2016.

The decision was taken following a meeting between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the ED director earlier today. The ED will examine potential money trails and suspicious transfers of the accused doctors employed by Al-Falah University. Additionally, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the Delhi blast, will look into the alleged terror financing aspect linked to the busted Faridabad module.
