New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency has placed Al Falah University in Faridabad under sharp scrutiny after discovering that one of the accused in the 2007 Gorakhpur blast case and another linked to the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts had studied at the institution. Investigators say this finding is significant and raises fresh concerns about whether the campus may have been misused by extremist networks in the past.

According to officials, the revelation came during the probe into the recent Delhi blast near the Red Fort. Several people connected with Al Falah University, either as students or staff members, have already been questioned, and at least ten individuals linked to the institution are missing since the investigation began.

The agency is examining whether the university played any role in creating an environment where radical groups could influence or recruit students. Though officials have not officially labelled the university as a terrorism training centre, they have stated that the pattern of repeated links across different blast cases cannot be ignored.

The concerns have grown after it was confirmed that suspects from three separate incidents the Gorakhpur blast, the Ahmedabad bombings and the latest Delhi explosion had some connection to Al Falah University. This unusual overlap has pushed agencies to widen their investigation.

Alongside the security probe, the Enforcement Directorate has arrested the university's chairman, Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, accusing him of collecting large amounts of money from students through false accreditation claims. A detailed review of the university's financial records, land documents and operations is now underway.

Officials say they are also monitoring around two hundred people believed to be part of a broader white collar module involving engineers, doctors and professionals who may have been exposed to radical ideas.

Investigators stress that the matter is still under inquiry, but the repeated appearance of the university's name in past and present blast cases has made it a central point of the ongoing national security investigation.
