The entry of the Bomb Disposal Squad and the high alert at Al-Falah University in Dhauj, Faridabad (Delhi-NCR), is a direct and critical consequence of the ongoing investigation into a massive terror module bust and the recent deadly car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort.
The university has become the central focus of a major national security investigation.
Here are the full details of the unfolding situation:
๐จ Immediate Alert: Bomb Squad Entry
- Date: Thursday, November 13, 2025.
- Action: A vehicle marked “Bomb Disposal Squad” entered the Al-Falah University campus in Dhauj, Faridabad.
- Reason: The presence of the squad was prompted by the discovery of a suspicious Brezza car on the university premises, which is currently under investigation by the Jammu and Kashmir Police and local authorities.
- Coordinating Agencies: Joint teams from the National Investigation Agency (NIA), J&K Police, Haryana Police, and Delhi Police are actively conducting raids, searches, and questioning staff and students across the campus and surrounding villages
๐ Al-Falah University: The Center of the Terror Network
The university is under intense scrutiny because multiple individuals allegedly involved in the terror module and the Delhi car blast were on its faculty.7 Investigators have described the university as a “refuge for terror-linked individuals operating under professional cover.”8
1. The Arrested and Detained Doctors9
At least four doctors associated with the university’s medical college and hospital are now under the scanner:10
| Name | Role at University | Connection to Terror Plot | Status |
| Dr. Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie | Assistant Professor/Junior Resident | Allegedly rented premises near campus to store 2,900 kg of explosives and arms. | Arrested (J&K Police). |
| Dr. Umar Un Nabi | Assistant Professor | Suspected to have been the driver of the explosive-laden car that detonated near the Red Fort Metro Station, killing 12 people. | Killed in the explosion. |
| Dr. Shaheen Shahid | Faculty Member | Allegedly tasked with setting up the women’s wing of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in India. Rifles recovered from her car. | Detained/Arrested. |
| Dr. Nisar-ul-Hassan | Professor (Medicine) | Dismissed by the J&K administration in 2023 for alleged terror links and “secessionist propaganda.” | Missing since the blast. |
2. The Explosives and Arms Haul
The investigation, which began with the arrest of Dr. Muzammil, led to one of the largest counter-terrorism hauls in recent years in the Delhi-NCR area:
- Total Explosives: Nearly 2,900 kg of IED-making material, including suspected Ammonium Nitrate and flammable substances.
- Weapons: Multiple assault rifles (Krinkov, AK-56), pistols, magazines, and live rounds.
- IED Components: Timers, batteries, remote controls, walkie-talkie sets, and chemical residues.
3. Misuse of University Facilities
Investigators are actively probing serious allegations regarding the misuse of the campus:
- Laboratory Misuse: Police are investigating whether the university’s medical/science laboratory facilities were used for synthesising RDX or other advanced explosives and for obtaining chemicals.
- Hostel Plotting: Sources suggest that a room in Building 17, Room 13 of the hostel, used by Dr. Muzammil, was the alleged site where the doctors met and planned coordinated terror attacks, possibly timed around the sensitive Babri Masjid demolition anniversary (December 6)
๐๏ธ University Reaction and Disciplinary Action
- Denial of Complicity: Al-Falah University issued a statement condemning the incidents and denying any institutional complicity. They stated the accused doctors worked only in their “official capacities” and categorically denied that unauthorized chemicals were used or stored on campus.
- Suspension and Accreditation: The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has suspended Al-Falah University’s membership. Furthermore, the university’s accreditation has been challenged by the NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) for displaying a false “Grade A” claim on its website.
- Financial Probe: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is reportedly initiating a detailed probe into the university’s funding and the financial transactions of the accused doctors to trace potential terror financing links.
