New Delhi: At least 10 people linked to Al-Falah University in Faridabad, including three from Kashmir, have gone missing, officials said on Tuesday.
Their mobile phones have been switched off. The disappearance came to light during a joint operation by Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana Police following the November 10 car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort
.Intelligence inputs indicate that the missing individuals may be connected to the “terror doctor” module behind the blast, in which a Hyundai i20 packed with ammonium nitrate fuel oil was detonated outside the Mughal-era fort.
According to officials, more than 200 doctors and staff at the university are under investigation.
Security agencies have been carrying out repeated checks on the campus, prompting several employees to leave the premises with their belongings.
Agencies are verifying how many people left the university after the blast and whether any of them had links with the suspected module.
Investigators said many individuals associated with the university deleted data from their mobile phones, which will be examined. Police have searched hostels and rented accommodations of students, and more than 1,000 people have been questioned.
A 35-year-old Anganwadi worker who rented a room to suicide bomber Dr Umar Un Nabi in Nuh’s Hidayat Colony has been detained. She had been absconding since the blast.
Seven others were also questioned to verify their contact with Umar, who used multiple mobile phones while staying in Nuh.
Sources at Al-Falah Medical College said patient footfall has fallen sharply since the links between the institution and the case surfaced.
Doctors revealed that Umar had been absent for nearly six months in 2023 without approval but resumed duty without action. He reportedly taught very few classes and was consistently assigned evening or night shifts.Multiple agencies, including the NIA, Delhi Police Special Cell, UP ATS, Faridabad Crime Branch and J&K Police, are stationed at the university.
The Enforcement Directorate, which also conducted searches, has secured a 13-day custody of Al-Falah group chairperson Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui for allegedly generating ₹415 crore through false accreditation claims.
