In the Delhi blast investigation, Al-Falah University and its colleges have been accused of making fake NAAC claims. NIA and Jammu and Kashmir Police raided the campus, finding suspicious documents and clues to a terrorist module.
Delhi Blast: In the investigation into the car blast near Delhi's Red Fort, serious questions have been raised against the Faridabad-based Al-Falah University and its medical college. According to investigative agencies, the university falsely claimed on its website that several of its colleges were NAAC accredited. Due to this fake claim, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has issued a show-cause notice to the university.
NAAC's Notice
NAAC's notice clearly states that Al-Falah University has neither obtained accreditation nor participated in the A&A Cycle-1. Despite this, the university claimed on its website that three of its colleges have received an 'A' grade from NAAC. These include Al-Falah School of Engineering & Technology, Brown Hill College of Engineering & Technology, and Al-Falah School of Education & Training. NAAC stated that this claim is entirely false and is misleading parents, students, and other stakeholders.
NIA and Jammu and Kashmir Police Conduct Investigation
A joint team of Jammu and Kashmir Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) raided the Al-Falah University campus. During the raid, two important diaries were recovered, containing secret codes. These diaries are being linked to the Delhi blast. Investigative agencies believe that the university campus was used as a clandestine operational base for a terrorist module.
Plan for Blasts in Four Cities
The investigation has also revealed that terrorists from the 'doctor module' had planned blasts in four cities across the country. Each group was assigned the responsibility of carrying out a blast in one city. The NIA and other intelligence agencies are thoroughly investigating the activities, travel history, and networks of these groups.
Why False Claims on Website Raised Questions
Al-Falah University's false claim of NAAC accreditation creates confusion for students and parents. Experts state that such claims not only undermine the credibility of the education sector but can also be an indicator for security agencies during investigations that suspicious activities might be taking place on campus. NAAC has clarified that in such cases, universities should immediately update their websites and provide accurate information.
Vigilance of Security Agencies
Amidst the Delhi blast and Al-Falah University's false claims, intelligence agencies remain vigilant. Security has been heightened in Delhi, Faridabad, and other sensitive areas. Agencies are ensuring that any suspicious activity can be prevented in a timely manner. The NIA and police are continuously investigating suspects' tracking data, call details, bank transactions, and online activities.
