Delhi blast: White-collar terror module stockpiled explosives for two years, NIA probe reveals
CHANDIGARH: The investigations into the Faridabad white collar terror module linked to the Delhi blast case have reportedly revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that one of the accused, Dr Muzammil Ganaie, during questioning by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has reportedly admitted that 26 quintals of NPK fertilizer was procured from Gurugram and Nuh in Haryana. It was allegedly converted into explosive material under the supervision of Umar un-Nabi, who also arranged remote detonators and circuitry for the devices, as he handled the technical part of the operation. The explosives were prepared meticulously over a long period, as they were not built overnight. An official, on condition of anonymity, said, Ganaie was sourcing fertilizer and other precursor chemicals, and this material was bought for approximately Rs 3 lakh. Ammonium nitrate and urea were also stockpiled. It is learnt that Muzammil left a grinding machine and another machine used to melt metal at a taxi drivers house in Dhauj village. The driver was later detained by the NIA along with the machines. Questioning has revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that the worrying factor is that the terrorists seem to have figured out a mix of incendiary chemicals and ammonium nitrate that lowers the kindling temperature of the improvised explosive device fabricated by this terror module. A day before the blast, a joint team of J&K and Faridabad police had seized 360 kg ammonium nitrate and other explosive material from a rented room of Dr Muzammil at Dhauj village. Additionally, 2,900 kg ammonium nitrate was recovered, clearly indicating the modules plan to carry out a major operation. So far, three doctors, Ganaie, Shahid and Adeel Rather, have been arrested. Muzaffar Rather, suspected to be part of the same network, is believed to be in Afghanistan, complicating efforts to bring him into custody. Meanwhile, authorities are also searching for Nissar ul-Hassan, a colleague of the accused at Al-Falah Medical College, where several of the suspects worked together. Sources claimed that Rs 26 lakh was allegedly raised among five doctors to finance the conspiracy. While Ganaie reportedly contributed Rs 5 lakh, Adeel Ahmad Rather Rs 8 lakh and Muzaffar Ahmad Rather Rs 6 lakh, Shaheen Shahid Rs 5 lakh and Dr Umar Un-Nabi Mohammad Rs 2 lakh. The entire amount was handed over to Umar. It is further alleged that Muzammil and Umar were involved in a fight at the university over the funds, witnessed by several students.

IM operative Shadab Beg back under scanner after new links to Faridabad University emerge
LUCKNOW: Indian Mujahideen operative Mirza Shadab Beg of Azamgarh, wanted in connection with several serial blasts across the country, is once again under the scrutiny of probe agencies following new intelligence inputs linking him to Al Falah University in Faridabad. According to UP ATS sources, Beg completed his BTech in Electronics and Instrumentation from Al Falah University around 2007. Investigators suspect he came in contact with extremist networks during his student years and later used his technical training to support bomb-making activities and arrange logistics for the Indian Mujahideen. Records show that Beg was a key accused in the 2007 Gorakhpur blast and the serial bombings in Jaipur and Ahmedabad in 2008. Officials say he was part of core IM modules responsible for reconnaissance, procurement of explosives and the supply of critical components such as detonators and metal bearings used in the attacks. Property linked to Beg has been seized in Uttar Pradesh after his name surfaced in connection with Al Falah University. He has remained on central agencies most-wanted lists for years. Back home, his family claims that Beg, who left 18 years ago, never returned, and they only received occasional information about his movements after he went missing. Intelligence inputs suggest he went underground soon after the 2008 blasts to evade crackdowns on IM operatives. Agencies now believe he has been absconding for nearly two decades, making him one of the longest-surviving fugitives associated with the outfit. Sources also claim that Beg visited Afghanistan in 2019. Investigators are probing the support channels that helped him leave India and exploring his suspected links with regional extremist groups. The recent Delhi terror blast has intensified scrutiny of Al Falah University, with security agencies reviewing old student records and networks to determine whether Beg attempted to recruit others on campus. Sources said efforts are under way to trace Beg and dismantle any remaining networks linked to him.

Haryana to set up ATS after Faridabad universitys links with Red Fort explosion surface
CHANDIGARH: Following the November 10 Delhi blast and the discovery of Faridabad white-collar terror module linked to it, the Haryana Police has fast-tracked its plan to establish an anti-terrorist squad (ATS) with focus on Islamic extremists and Khalistani separatist networks. Sources said that the new ATS structure will rest on three coordinated wingsintelligence gathering, complex investigations, and field operations modeled after the units across the country. The ATS will mainly focus on the NCR, which comprises 14 districts of Haryana, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjara belt that has repeatedly figured in national security alerts. A senior official indicated that the headquarters of ATS might be set up either at Panchkula or Gurugram. The ATS, officials say marks a generational shift in states approach to counter-terror ops: integrating intel, investigation, and operational capacity within a singular, high-tech framework. The commandos at ATS disposal will be trained for precision operations based on information from field and digital surveillance, said a senior police officer. Haryana DGP, OP Singh said, Our effort is to scan every layeranalogue and digitalfor the earliest signs of mobilisation. We want to transition from reactive policing to proactive, intelligence-led disruption of threats. Sources added that each of over 150 police stations in NCR districts will dedicate at least one security agent solely for the purpose of terror-intelligence collection.

Haryana Police fast-tracks Anti-Terror Squad plan after Red Fort blast
CHANDIGARH: After the November 10 Red Fort blast that killed 15 people and the exposure of a Faridabad white-collar terror module linked to the attack, the Haryana Police has revived and fast-tracked its long-pending plan to set up an Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) focused on Islamic extremist factions and Khalistani separatist networks. The ATS will prioritise counter-terror operations across the National Capital Region (NCR), covering fourteen Haryana districts, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjar, areas repeatedly flagged in national security alerts. Sources said the dormant proposal has now been pushed into action. The planned ATS will be equipped with three integrated wings, intelligence gathering, complex investigations and field operations, modelled on other elite units in the country. Officials said the squad will concentrate on emerging threats from Islamic extremists, Khalistani outfits and nodes of left-wing extremism. Officials said the ATS marks a generational shift in the states counter-terror approach by integrating intelligence, investigation and operational capacity into a single, high-tech framework. The commandos at the ATS disposal will be trained for precision operations based on information from field and digital surveillance, said a senior police officer, highlighting the units tech-driven vision. A senior official said the ATS headquarters may be set up in Panchkula or Gurugram to ensure synergy with NCR-focused operations and proximity to national agencies. The unit will employ advanced surveillance tools and analytic systems to monitor both online and offline spaces for early signs of mobilisation. Each of the more than 150 police stations in NCR districts will assign a dedicated security agent for daily terror-intelligence collection under the direct supervision of a senior officer. Speaking to the TNIE , Haryana DGP O P Singh said, Our effort is to scan every layer, analogue and digital, for the earliest signs of mobilisation. We want to move from reactive policing to proactive, intelligence-led disruption of threats. ED arrests Al Falah University founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in PMLA case amid Red Fort blast probe A critical plank of the ATS is its operational wing, a force of 500 commandos trained in advanced counter-terror tactics, urban warfare and critical incident management, Singh added, emphasising both manpower and modernisation in the proposed units effectiveness. He further said, Our mandate is early neutralisation of threats through layered intelligence, swift investigation and precise operations. Haryana will not be a soft target. ATS is not a one-time exercise but a continuous vigil. This squad will embody our long-term commitment to internal security and public trust. The ATS will work in coordination with central agencies and ATS units in Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Terror knows no boundaries between states. Seamless sharing of actionable leads and synchronised interventions are essential to prevent catastrophic events, said another senior officer involved in the planning. The final plan is still being refined, though officials say the structure will draw from best practices across elite North Indian units. Currently, the Haryana CID handles intelligence gathering related to terrorist activity.

SC stays Haryana STF's probe against Delhi lawyer; confirms interim bail in murder case
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Haryana Police Special Task Force investigation against a Delhi-based advocate who was arrested in a murder case. A bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justices Prasanna B Varale and K Vinod Chandran also confirmed the interim bail granted earlier by it on November 12 to lawyer Vikram Singh in the case. It took note of the submissions of senior advocate Vikas Singh and said that the probe, qua the lawyer, will not proceed. I am not asking for discharge today, let the status report be called from the CBI, after that, if the bench thinks it's fit for discharge... The way the prosecution is behaving in this case is atrocious! the senior lawyer said. The bench, however, did not stay the entire investigation in the matter and said the plea for handing over the probe to the CBI will be taken up later. On Wednesday, the senior advocate alleged that the lawyer had been subjected to custodial torture and arrested solely to extract information about his clients. He was tied to a pole all night and made to sleep like that. WhatsApp messages were sent despite this court's order restraining such communication. He was given third-degree torture. He was threatened that his hair would be cut, and it was cut immediately at the police station, Vikas Singh said. He also alleged that STF officials were pressuring Vikram Singh to settle a gang-war because he represented certain accused. How can a lawyer settle matters between hardened gangsters? he asked and urged the bench to confirm the interim bail already granted and to transfer the probe to the CBI, considering the seriousness of the allegations. He also pointed out that although the top court ordered the advocate's release on November 12, he was freed only on November 13 at 8.30 pm. The counsel for Haryana denied any wrongdoing and submitted that Vikram Singh's bail bond was furnished only the next day, and that the release followed immediately thereafter. He also said that the petitioner was making misleading statements and that the grounds of arrest had been duly supplied. He added that it was the advocate who had initiated WhatsApp communication with the investigating officer. Opposing any move to involve the CBI, the state counsel said that the murder case was being handled by the STF and transferring the present grievances would amount to transferring the entire investigation. So what is the issue? The CBI will investigate it much better, the CJI said and listed the plea for the hearing on Thursday. Earlier, while granting the bail, the court had directed that Vikram Singh be released forthwith on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 10,000, and posted the matter for Wednesday. The bench directed the registrar (judicial) of the top court to communicate the order to the Gurugram police commissioner for immediate compliance. At the outset, Vikas Singh, who is also president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, said that anybody practising criminal law will now be susceptible to these kinds of coercive measures. He said the arrested advocate was representing gangsters, but these kinds of police atrocities against lawyers were impermissible. Vikram Singh, an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi since July 2019, was lodged in Faridabad jail before the grant of bail. In the course of his professional duties, the petitioner has represented several clients in criminal cases between 2021 and 2025, including persons alleged to have connections with one Kapil Sangwan @ Nandu. All such representations were undertaken purely in the discharge of his professional obligations and in conformity with the Advocates Act and the standards of professional ethics. However, instead of respecting the independence of the Bar, the investigating agency has sought to criminalise the petitioner's professional association with his clients, thereby undermining the rule of law and the sanctity of the advocate-client relationship, the plea said. It said the lawyer was targeted after an application was filed before a court alleging custodial assault on one of his clients, Jyoti Prakash alias 'Baba', who reportedly suffered a leg fracture in STF custody. The retaliatory action by the investigating agency culminated in my illegal arrest, the petition said. It said Vikram Singh was arrested on October 31 without a written grounds of arrest or independent witnesses, in violation of Articles 21 and 22 of the Constitution. On November 1, a trial court in Faridabad remanded Singh to judicial custody for 14 days by a mechanical and non-speaking order, devoid of any reasoning or material connecting him to the alleged offences, it said.
Punjab police to seek custody of Anmol Bishnoi after NIA interrogation
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab police will be seeking custody of deported gangster Anmol Bishnoi after the National Investigation Agency has completed interrogating him, a senior state police official said on condition of anonymity. The Punjab Police will move to court and seek his custody to break the criminal nexus being run in the state, the source added. As per state police records, Anmol is named as an accused in 16 FIRs registered across Punjab between October 2012 and July 2025, including charges of murder, extortion, robbery, attempt to murder, and Arms Act in Punjab. Anmol Bishnoi has been deported from the United States and was arrested by the National Investigation Agency(NIA) for his alleged key role in the murder of Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewal. Several questions remain unanswered despite a charge sheet being filed in the Sidhu Moosewala case, sources said. Anmols interrogation, they believe, will be crucial in filling these gaps and uncovering the full extent of the conspiracy. He is accused of being a key conspirator in the murder of Sidhu, as he provided logistical support and weapons to the assailants who shot the singer dead at his native village in Mansa on May 29, 2022. Anmol is a key conspirator along with Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi. We will bring him on a production warrant, he added. In 2012, the first case was registered on Anmol at Abohar City Police Station on charges of attempt to murder, voluntary causing grievous injury, acts with intention and arms act. Then two years later, he was booked at the Sadar Police Station at Abohar on charges of trespass, theft, and Arms Act. Anmol hails from Dutarawali village in the Fazilka district of Punjab. Most of the FIRs are registered against him in Abohar and Fazilka. Sources said that on June 15, 2022, Punjab Police shared the first input with the Intelligence Bureau that Anmol fled to Dubai between November 19 and November 20, 2021, from Jaipur using a fake passport in the name of Bhanu Pratap, a resident of Sector 82, Faridabad, Haryana, with the fathers name mentioned as Rakesh. In reality, his father is Lovinder Bishnoi, and he is a resident of Dutranwali village in Fazilka. Afterwards, a case was later registered at the Punjab State Crime Police Station, Mohali, against him on charges of forgery, forgery of public records, using a forged document, criminal conspiracy, extortion, and under sections of the Passports Act for obtaining a passport by furnishing fake particulars. Later, a court issued his open warrants in this case, said sources. On June 24, 2022, the Bureau of Immigration issued a look-out circular for Anmol on the request of Punjab Police and on July 20, the same year state home department wrote to the Ministry of Home Affairs requesting the initiation of the process for the arrest and deportation. Sources said that the NIA yesterday arrested him in a case registered in 2022 to investigate an alleged nexus between criminal gangs in India and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), a designated terrorist organisation, to raise funds, recruit youths and carry out terror strikes in the country.

US deports 200 Indians, including Anmol Bishnoi
CHANDIGARH: A special US deportation flight carrying 200 Indians, including Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother and close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, two other fugitives wanted in Punjab, and 197 undocumented migrants landed in New Delhi on Wednesday. Anmol is wanted in multiple criminal cases in India, including the murders of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in May 2022 and Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique in October 2024, and firing at actor Shah Rukh Khans residence in April 2024. As soon as the special US flight landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, Bishnoi was detained by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He was later produced at Delhis Patiala House court, which sent him to 11 days NIA custody. We are trying to find how he fled India, Special Public Prosecutor Rahul Tyagi said, adding that Anmol will be produced before the court again on November 29 after completion of his NIA custody. Hailing from Punjabs Fazilka, Anmol was his borther Lawrence Bishnois principal overseas handler and was directing extortion rackets, issuing threats, and coordinating assignments through encrypted channels. Anmol reportedly slipped out of the country in April 2022 using a forged passport, accompanied by another wanted gangster Sachin Thapan. Sources said Anmol managed to get a fake passport in the name of Bhanu Pratap, a resident of Faridabad, and his fathers name was mentioned as Rakesh.

Al Falah Group chairman's family property in MP's Mhow gets notice for unauthorised construction
MHOW: The Mhow Cantonment Board in Madhya Pradesh has issued a notice to the occupants and legal heirs of a residential property, belonging to Al Falah Group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui's family , in which it directed that unauthorised constructions there be razed within three days, an official said. Faridabad-based Al Falah University, run by the Al Falah Group, is emerging as an epicentre of investigation in the November 10 Delhi blast case that killed 12 persons and injured several others. Cantonment Engineer H S Kaloya said, We have issued a notice to the house of the late Moulana Hammad, who is the father of Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui. As per the notice, the department had previously issued multiple communications dating back to 1996 and 1997 under relevant sections of the Cantonments Act, 1924, directing the removal of the unauthorised construction. However, despite repeated notifications, the construction in question was reportedly not removed. The latest notice instructs the current occupant or legal heirs of the property to remove the unauthorised structure within three days, he said. If the direction is not complied with, the cantonment board will undertake removal action, and the cost incurred will be recovered from the concerned party as per the provisions of the Cantonments Act, the official said. This property - house number 1371 - is located on survey number 245/1245 located in the Mukeri Mohalla area of Mhow. The Madhya Pradesh police have earlier arrested Hamood Ahmed Siddiqui, the brother of Jawad Siddiqui, from Hyderabad in connection with a 25-year old case. Hamood, who is accused of orchestrating a large-scale financial fraud in MP's Mhow 25 years ago, was arrested on Sunday, an official said. Notably, the Delhi blast prime accused, Dr Umar Un Nabi, was a student of Al Falah University.

ED probe against Al-Falah group unearths 'cheating' to the tune of Rs 415 crore
NEW DELHI: The initial financial probe into the Al-Falah group has unearthed alleged cheating to the tune of Rs 415 crore, said a senior officer in the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The agency is also probing the foreign funding it has received so far. The group, whose Haryana-based university has come under the scanner after three doctors working there were found to be suspects in the November 10 Red Fort blast that killed 13 people, is being investigated under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The varsity based in Faridabad allegedly cheated students and parents by using the false claim that it is accredited with the NAAC and recognised under Section 12(B) of the UGC to attract admissions and fees. A forensic analysis of income tax returns from the financial years 2014-15 to 2024-25 showed a unified financial structure, said the ED. The bank accounts of Al-Falah School of Engineering and Technology, Al-Falah School of Education and Training, Al-Falah University and the overarching Al-Falah Charitable Trust were all operated under a single Permanent Account Number (PAN). ED arrests Al Falah University founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in PMLA case amid Red Fort blast probe The data reveals a steady stream of revenue declared as Receipts from main object or Educational Revenue. From FY 2018-19 to FY 2024-25, these declared incomes surged, including Rs 41.97 crore in 2019-20, Rs 89.28 crore in 2022-23 and Rs 80.10 crore in 2024-25. The ED has concluded that the aggregate educational income during the years the institutes were operating without valid accreditation amounts to Rs 415.10 crore. The agency has stated that these are proceeds of crime rather than steady income to run the institution citing that these receipts were collected by deception, using false statutory and false accreditation claims, thereby directly linking the funds to the scheduled offences of cheating and forgery. The ED also said that there are critical red flags in the group's financials. The financials of the various entities are at variance with the huge amount of assets / wealth accumulated by the group, it said. The agency is probing potential diversions of funds such as the alleged routing of hostel and mess fees to a family-run entity named Anla Enterprises LLP and funds transferred to another family-linked firm, Karkun Construction and Developers, for construction contracts. The agency has got 13 days custody of Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, chairman and founder of the varsity, who was arrested on November 18 on charges of money laundering.

Punjab CM Mann secures deferral on key state issues at Northern Zonal Council meeting
CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday said the BJP-led Centre had agreed to defer as many as 11 agenda items related to the state, which were part of the deliberations during the meeting of the North Zonal Council (NZC) in Faridabad on Monday. Speaking to reporters, CM Mann said Union Home Minister Amit Shah had ordered a status quo on most of the issues related to Punjab. The issue about staff appointment in the administration and institutions of Chandigarh has been referred to the NZC standing committee, he added. Mann criticised the NZC members including Haryana, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh for attempting to infringe the rights of the states. He said that it is unfortunate that Haryana, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh are unnecessarily mounting pressure on Punjab. The Punjab CM alleged that the leadership of these states have made a mockery of the platform by making unjust demands seeking a share in the resources of the state and even its rivers. He said that in the NZC meeting, all the member states put forth their views, and as the head of the state, he also presented the case of Punjab. Out of a total 28 agenda items, 11 were related to Punjab, and for the first time, due to the strenuous efforts of the state government, all of them were deferred, he said. Those who are making a fuss over river waters must understand one thing, a real-time assessment of the availability of river waters should be made, for which the presence of water must be reviewed, Mann said. Mann quipped that Haryana has made a very strange demand --that Punjab should be restrained from constructing mini hydel projects on the Bhakra Main Line (BML) on the grounds that it would hamper the flow of water. He said it was surprising that the naive leadership of Haryana was indulging in such baseless tantrums far removed from facts. He added that issues related to the Satluj Yamuna Link (SYL) can be resolved only through the Yamuna Satluj Link (YSL), which would ensure the judicious use of Yamuna water. Punjab, he stressed, has no surplus water to divert through the SYL, and no scientific calculation has ever been carried out regarding water availability. Mann categorically reiterated that Punjab has no spare water to share with any state --there is no question about it, he said. In the wake of the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, he said there is now a significant opportunity to resolve long-pending water-related issues concerning the states represented at the meeting. There is a possibility, he added, of linking the Chenab river with the Ravi and Beas rivers, over which dams already regulate downstream water flow. He said that linking the Chenab with the Ravi and Beas would allow the surplus water inflow to be used productively by downstream states, including Punjab, for both power generation and irrigation. The additional water, he said, would also help Punjab bridge its water shortfall, particularly in the border areas. On the issue of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), Mann said he had strongly opposed the proposal to appoint a whole-time member in the BBMB from Rajasthan, arguing that the board was constituted under the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966, and concerns only the successor states of Punjab and Haryana. Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh are already represented as ex officio members, he said, and creating additional whole-time posts would only increase expenditure --most of which is borne by Punjab-- without serving any useful purpose. Mann said he had also forcefully reiterated Punjabs longstanding demand for the transfer of Chandigarh to the state, noting that after the reorganisation of Punjab, the Indira Gandhi Agreement of 1970 clearly stated that the capital project area of Chandigarh will, as a whole, go to Punjab, reflecting an explicit commitment from the Centre. The Rajiv-Longowal Accord, signed on July 24, 1985, he added, reaffirmed that Chandigarh would be transferred to Punjab. On maintaining the 60:40 ratio in the intake of service personnel from Punjab and Haryana in the functioning of the UT of Chandigarh, the Chief Minister said that preserving the status quo was essential. He expressed concern that IAS and PCS officers from Punjab were being excluded from key positions in the Chandigarh administration. Posts in departments such as Excise, Education, Finance and Health, he said, were now being opened to cadres like the UT cadre (DANICS), thereby undermining Punjabs role in the effective functioning of the UT administration. He said Haryana and Himachal Pradesh had unilaterally withdrawn their colleges from Panjab University in 1973 and 1975 respectively, set up their own universities, and stopped funding Panjab University altogether. He said Punjab alone had supported and nurtured the university for 50 years, and questioned why Haryana now wanted to affiliate its colleges with Panjab University when they have been affiliated for decades with Kurukshetra University, an A+ NAAC-accredited institution. Mann reiterated that there should be no change in the status of Panjab University, adding that Panjab University is our university, and we will continue to support and fund it in the future as well.
Haryana DGP probes Al Falah Universitys security laps after terror link
Chandigarh: Haryana DGP O P Singh on Tuesday visited the Al Falah University in Faridabad, and directed top officials to probe the security lapses leading to some doctors joining a white-collar terror module and making the institute their hideout.

CHANDIGARH: Haryana Director General of Police Singh on Monday directed senior officials to investigate the security lapses that enabled some doctors to join a white-collar terror module and allegedly use Al Falah University at Dhouj in Faridabad as their hideout. During his visit to the institute, where he spent nearly four hours inspecting the premises, he also instructed officials to trace the missing faculty members at the earliest and take immediate action. He further directed officials to check all religious institutions and ensure that fundamental elements are not leading anyone towards sectarianism. Singh, who was accompanied by ADIG/CID officials, interacted with security personnel, staff, students, faculty members, local residents, and the family of the mosque cleric associated with the university. He personally inspected the areas used by the terrorists. After visiting the university, Singh said, The security lapses in the university are being investigated to determine how such vicious individuals made it their hideout and got hold of such a huge quantity of ammunition and weapons. He held a joint meeting with the Faridabad Commissioner of Police and the Deputy Commissioner and instructed them to ensure that the faculty members who have been missing since the incident are located at the earliest. He also directed the officers to alert the central agencies about such individuals. Sharing details about his visit to the university and his subsequent meeting with the two senior officers, Singh wrote in Hindi in a post on the social media platform X, where he said he had asked the officers to speak to the students to reassure them that actions were being taken for their safety and that they need not panic. I spent four hours this morning at Al Falah University with ADIG/CID. I spoke with the security, administrative officers, faculty, students, people from the nearby village, and the family members of a cleric. I inspected the terrorists hideouts, he wrote. Singh also directed the officials to check all religious institutions and ensure that fundamental elements are not leading anyone towards sectarianism. The operation is aimed at ensuring that such incidents are not repeated, and that the public and students feel safe, he said. The university has come under the scanner following the busting of the white-collar terror module and the blast near the Red Fort on November 10, which claimed 15 lives. Dr Muzammil Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Sayeed both arrested as part of the investigation into the terror module were connected to the university, while Dr Umar Nabi, who was driving the Hyundai i20 that exploded in the Red Fort area, was an assistant professor at the university. The roles of several doctors linked to the university and to Kashmir are under the scanner of the probe agencies. The blast occurred shortly after authorities recently busted the white-collar terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, spanning Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The investigation agencies have seized around 2,900 kg of explosive material from two rented rooms in Faridabad and detained or arrested several individuals, including doctors connected to Al Falah University and a cleric linked to a mosque in Faridabad.
In a significant move, the high-ranking police official from Haryana made a critical visit to Al Falah University in Faridabad. Prompting an extensive investigation into security breaches, this visit comes after the alarming revelation of a terror group using the university as a refuge.

Video of prime accused in Delhi blast surfaces; calls suicide bombing 'martyrdom operation'
NEW DELHI: A week after the Red Fort blast that killed 13 people and injured several others, a purported video allegedly recorded by prime accused, Dr Umar un Nabi , has surfaced, in which he is seen discussing suicide bombing and referring to it as a martyrdom operation. In the video, whose authenticity the TNIE cannot independently verify, he said, One of the very misunderstood concepts is the concept of what has been addressed as suicide bombing. It is a martyrdom operation. There are multiple arguments and contradictions that have been brought against it. When a person presumes that he is going to die for sure at a particular place at a particular time, he goes against the presumption that a person is going to die in a particular situation. On November 10, around 6.52 pm, a slow-moving i20 car exploded near the Red Fort, claiming the lives of 13 people and injuring several others. Umar Nabi was behind the wheel of the vehicle. The conspirators of the Red Fort blast in Delhi were planning to weaponise drones with explosives and rockets, officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said on Monday, a day after arresting a key associate of alleged suicide bomber Dr Umar. The agency arrested Jasir Bilal Wani, alias Danish, from Srinagar alleging that he was an active co-conspirator. Jasir is a resident of Qazigund in south Kashmirs Kulgam district and had provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets ahead of the deadly car bomb blast near the Red Fort. The multi-state, multi-agency investigation into the attack continued on Monday, with investigators taking further crucial steps in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi, among other states. The probe into the Delhi blast has revealed that terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed are increasingly recruiting highly educated professionals, including doctors. Earlier this month, soon after a major explosives seizure in Faridabad, the Jammu and Kashmir police said they had busted an inter-state and transnational module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.

One more Umar aide held for planning drone attacks
SRINAGAR/CHANDIGARH: The conspirators of the Red Fort blast in Delhi were planning to weaponise drones with explosives and rockets, officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said on Monday, a day after arresting a key associate of alleged suicide bomber Dr Umar un Nabi. The agency arrested Jasir Bilal Wani, alias Danish, from Srinagar saying that he was an active co-conspirator. The multi-state, multi-agency investigation into the attack continued on Monday, with investigators taking further crucial steps in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi, among other states. Jasir is a resident of Qazigund in south Kashmirs Kulgam district and had provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks by modifying drones and attempting to make rockets ahead of the deadly car bomb blast near the Red Fort. Jasir and his uncle Nabeel Ahmad were picked up by the Jammu and Kahsmir Police a few days back during the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, Jasirs father Bilal Ahmad Wani, a dry fruit seller, died of burn injuries in a Srinagar hospital on Monday after he had immolated himself the previous day due to the detention of his brother Ahmad and Jasir in the blast probe case.

In addition, prima facie discrepancies have been noted in claims regarding UGC and NAAC recognition. These aspects are being examined with the concerned authorities, it stated.

BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh police on Sunday arrested Hamud Ahmad Siddiqui, brother of Al-Falah University founder-chairman Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, in connection with three cases lodged over two decades ago. Hamud was arrested by the Mhow Police from Hyderabad on Sunday and later taken to Indore. According to police, 50-year-old Hamud has been accused in four cases: one dating back to 1988, which pertained to rioting and attempted murder, and three cases on alleged investment fraud registered in 2000. The police said the arrest was part of a special drive to nab wanted criminals who have been on the run for years. ...In 1996, he (Humud) operated an investment firm with the help of his wife and another person. The firm secured investments from individuals with the promise of 20% returns. He ran the firm for two years but then fled from Mhow without returning the investors money, said Indore Rural district police superintendent Yangchen Dolkar Bhutia. In 2000, three cases under Section 420 IPC were registered at Mhow police station against Hamud on complaints by investors who allegedly lost investments to the tune of Rs 40 lakh-plus, she added. The Al-Falah Fincom Investment Private Limited, which was operated by Hamud as its managing director along with his wife and another person in the late 1990s, is accused of duping investors to the tune of Rs 40 lakh plus. Im sure the sum may be much higher, which will be revealed as the investigation progresses, she claimed. According to police, in 2019, a bounty of Rs 10,000 was placed on his arrest. In 2019, a reward of Rs 10,000 was declared on his arrest, but he remained untraced. Were currently running a special drive to nab all those wanted criminals who have been on the run for years. Hamuds arrest from Hyderabad is part of that drive, Bhutia said. She, however, added that Hamuds brother, Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, wasnt named in any of the cases registered in Mhow in 1988 and 2000. Jawad Ahmad was summoned by the Delhi Police earlier today in connection with the ongoing investigation into the Faridabad terror module case and the two cases registered against Al-Falah University for alleged forgery and cheating. According to Parvez Ahmad, an advocate based in Mhow town of Indore district, it was Jawad Ahmad who had originally started an investment firm in Mhow in the early 1990s under the name Al-Falah Investment, which operated from the family's ancestral home in Kayastha Mohalla. While Jawad left Mhow and shifted to Delhi, his brother Hamud opened a new investment firm, Al-Fahad, which allegedly indulged in multiple cases of investment fraud. Abdul Khalid, who was an employee at Al-Fahad, was later arrested in the investment fraud case after he started his own firm. But Hamud remained at large for more than two decades, police said.

JKSA flags collective suspicion of Kashmiri students post Delhi car blast; seeks PM intervention
NEW DELHI: The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Monday alleged that Kashmiri students across several northern states are facing profiling, eviction and intimidation in the aftermath of the Red Fort blast in Delhi, and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to publicly intervene to call off the vilification of the community. Addressing a press conference here, JKSA National Convenor Nasir Khuehami said a particular community is being targeted after the attack, claiming that Kashmiri students are being harassed in universities and localities in states such as Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi. Kashmiri students believe in India's democracy and in the mainstream, not in terrorism. But they are being profiled and vilified by authorities and local people across states. Many landlords have asked Kashmiri tenants to vacate their rooms, forcing several students to return home out of fear, Khuehami said. He added that the association had o objection to any investigation into the blast, but demanded that the Centre ensure the safety of Kashmiri students and prevent collective suspicion. We request the Prime Minister to make a public statement. Kashmiris are as much a part of this country as any other citizen, he said. The JKSA also condemned the blast outside the Red Fort in the strongest words and sought a fair investigation and strict action against the culprits. The car explosion near Red Fort on November 10, which killed 13 people , has triggered a sweeping, multi-agency investigation involving the Delhi Police Special Cell, NIA and Crime Branch. Three people, including two doctors from Haryana's Al Falah University, have been detained as part of the probe. Police have also registered two separate FIRs against Al Falah University under cheating and forgery charges following regulatory violations flagged by the UGC and NAAC. A police team visited the university's Okhla office on Saturday to gather details of individuals under scrutiny. Officials said the detained doctors , Mohammad and Mustakim, were known to Dr Umar Nabi, the driver of the car that exploded, and were allegedly in touch with Dr Muzammil Ganaie, arrested earlier in a suspected white-collar terror module case . Their statements are being examined to assess their possible role in the broader conspiracy. Investigators are also probing the role of a Faridabad-based man accused of illegally selling fertilisers, as evidence suggests the module pooled around Rs 26 lakh to acquire explosive materials, including NPK fertiliser. Since the blast, police have checked more than 500 people from Jammu and Kashmir in Faridabad alone as part of heightened security measures, according to officials. The NIA is now probing the wider conspiracy after the initial UAPA FIR was transferred to the agency. Delhi police summons Al Falah University chairman in terror module, forgery probes
Nearly 200 under scanner in 'white-collar' terror module tied to Delhi blast
CHANDIGARH: Around 200 people are reportedly under the scanner of investigating agencies in the Faridabad-based white-collar terror module linked to the Red Fort blast. This development comes after a review of call records and online transactions allegedly connected to the three key accused in the case. Sources said those under the scanner include former students and colleagues from Al-Falah University, shopkeepers, diagnostic centre owners and imams of madrasas. Three of the key accused, including Dr Umar Nabi, who died in the explosion, had reportedly made online payments to locals as part of the efforts to build their support and strengthen the network. The two other accused, Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Shahid, were arrested earlier. According to the students of the university they tried to help every Kashmiri student by leaving their own rooms in order to help them stay, the official added. CCTV footage from 29 and 30 October, recovered from a clinic near Al-Falah University by the NIA and the Delhi Police Special Cell, shows Nabi entering the clinic with two mobile phones and a backpack. He visited the clinic almost daily, often assisting with patients. The mobile phone of the doctor who was arrested, and the clinics computer, have been sent for forensic analysis to recover deleted messages and emails. Investigators suspect that the medical store may have been a communication and coordination point for Nabi during his stay in Faridabad. Sources also added that the use of two phones suggests that one was for routine calls, while the other was kept only for handlers and operational messages. The number of people arrested in the case has risen to six, including three doctors, a cleric, a fertiliser dealer and a suspected hawala operator. The police have stepped up ground operations across Faridabad, Nuh, Ballabgarh and nearby areas of Gurugram after the Red Fort blast. The NIA and Delhi Police have also raided mosques, rented rooms, coaching centres, eateries and medical stores linked to Nabis movements. Investigators have traced more than 65 CCTV clips charting his route through the Khalilpur and Rewasan toll plazas into Faridabad, and later into Delhi, according to sources.

J&K Nowgam police station accidental bast: MHA orders probe, urges public to avoid speculation
NEW DELHI: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday said a detailed investigation has been ordered to determine the cause of the accidental blast at Nowgam police station in Jammu & Kashmir on Friday night, which claimed nine lives and left 32 injured. The MHA stated that prima facie, the explosion is believed to have been caused by highly unstable explosives recovered during an ongoing probe into a terror module linked to the 10 November Delhi Red Fort blast, which had killed 12 people. Briefing the media, Prashant Lokhande, Joint Secretary in the MHAs Jammu & Kashmir Division, said, On 14 November at 11:20 PM, a massive explosion occurred inside Nowgam Police Station in an unfortunate accidental incident. The police had cracked a case of a terror module and recovered a large cache of explosives and chemicals during the investigation of FIR 162 of 2025. The materials were stored securely in an open area of the police station. All agencies are working together in a coordinated and scientific manner. 9 killed, 32 injured as explosives seized in Faridabad accidentally detonate at J&K police station Lokhande explained that forensic processing of the seized material had continued for nearly two days under expert supervision, but the unstable and sensitive nature of some substances may have contributed to the accidental detonation. In this unfortunate incident, nine people have lost their lives, while 27 police personnel, two revenue officials, and three civilians have been injured, he said. All injured were immediately shifted for medical care, and the police station building sustained severe structural damage. Authorities have launched a detailed inquiry into the exact cause of the blast, Lokhande added, and urged the public to refrain from speculation. No alternative cause should be assumed until the investigation is complete. The government stands in solidarity with the families of the deceased, he said. A team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has been deployed to the site to assist in the investigation.

J&K tailor killed in Nowgam blast was called to assist police in sample collection
SRINAGAR: Mohammad Shafi Parray left home on Friday morning in the hope of earning livelihood for his family as he assisted the police investigators to collect samples of the explosives seized from a white collar terror module busted recently. Little did the 47-year-old, a tailor by profession, know the job would be his last. A dutiful family man, and a devout community volunteer, Parray joined the investigators early Friday, and remained at the Nowgam police station for most part of the day, returning home twice for Friday prayers and dinner. In the evening, the tailor master put on warm clothes to beat the winter chill, and left his home to help the investigators collect the remaining samples from the explosive material seized from Faridabad, Haryana. When he left home, his wife, daughter and two sons never imagined they would be seeing Parray for the final time, as the tailor was among the nine persons killed in the accidental blast inside the Nowgam Police station late on Friday night. The blast engulfed the whole area, not just with clouds of smoke, but with immense grief as well. The lone bread earner in his family, Parray left behind his wife and three unmarried children. His neighbours said when the family inquired about his whereabouts immediately after the blast, police told them the tailor master had sustained injuries in the explosion. However, early Saturday, police told the family that Parray had succumbed to his injuries, and asked them to identify the body. As the news about Parray's death spread, relatives and locals flocked to their two-storey house, from where wails and cries could be heard from a distance. Women tried to console Parray's family, including his sisters, but to no avail. They tried to wipe off their tears, but the eyes did not stop swelling up again. Parray's demise has left not just the family in deep shock, but the entire neighbourhood as well. The neighbours and relatives remembered Parray as a man of character. He was my sister's brother-in-law. He was a man of character, the president of the local mosque, an elderly relative said. The tailor master was taken by police at 10 am on Friday for some packing work at the police station, he said. He came home for prayers at 1 pm, had lunch, and then went back to the police station. He returned home in the evening, had dinner and then went back again, the elderly man said. The locals said Parray was the lone bread earner for the family, which sustained on whatever he earned at his shop located at nearby Wanabal Chowk. Recalling the incident, Jawhar Ahmad Wani, who lives nearby, said the neighbourhood was awakened by the sound of the blast on Friday night. We first thought it was an air blast. Some window panes of our house were also shattered, even though we live around 1,000-1,200 metres away (from the blast site). We rushed outside to check and came to know about the blast in the police station, Wani said. He said Parray had gone to the local mosque for Friday prayers, and even collected donations for the mosque during the congregational prayers. After the blast, the locals rushed to the scene and helped police pick up the dead and the injured. We found body parts at various places. I picked up someone's arm, Wani said. Another local, Tariq Ahmad, added, When we heard about Parray, we rushed to the scene. He (the body) did not have any legs. We also went to identify him. As Parray's relatives and locals submit to fate, they only have one appeal -- the government should support the family, and give a job to a family member. We request the government, especially the lieutenant governor, to do something for the family so that it can sustain itself. The government should provide a job to his son, Wani said.

Delhi blast: Agencies detain three doctors, two fertilizer sellers for alleged terror links
CHANDIGARH: A surgeon from Pathankot in Punjab, who had earlier worked at Al-Falah University, has been detained in the Delhi Red Fort blast . Additionally, two doctors from Nuh and two fertilizer and seed sellers were picked up from Sohna in Haryana. The Al-Falah University in Faridabad continues to remain under the scanner of multiple central and state agencies, with revenue officials checking the university's land records and measurements. Meanwhile, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has cancelled the registrations of the four doctors involved in the terror module behind the blast on November 10. Sources said that 45-year old Dr Rayees Ahmad Bhat, who is presently associated with White Medical College in Pathankot, was detained by the central agencies and is being questioned after investigators found that he was allegedly in touch with Dr Umar Nabi the main master mind of the Delhi Red Fort blast in which a dozen people died. Bhat worked at the Al-Falah University from 2020 to 2021. The investigators found that Dr Bhat was in regular touch with staff at the university. Sources said Bhat was taken into custody to establish facts and to ascertain whether he was part of the white collar terror module that was allegedly supported by the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind. One of the accused had called him on the phone, an official said on condition of anonymity. On Friday evening, two doctors from Nuh and two fertiliser and seed sellers from Sohna were detained for questioning. Sources said that a doctor Mustkim, a resident of Sunhera village in Nuh district, was picked up for questioning. He had reportedly completed his MBBS and was doing his apprenticeship at Al-Falah University, which ended on November 2. He allegedly travelled to Delhi on November 9. Dr Rehan, a former student of Al-Falah University who is currently employed with a private hospital in Nuh, was also detained. However, neither police nor Central agencies have officially confirmed their detention. Sources said that two fertilizer and seed store owners were detained from the new grain market in Sohna over suspicion that they might have sold chemicals to individuals connected to the terror module. The development has triggered strict restrictions in Gurugram on fertiliser distribution. An investigation officer confirmed the detentions, saying the two traders were picked up for questioning. Meanwhile, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has cancelled the registrations of the four doctors. In a notice, the commission cancelled the Indian Medical Register (IMR) and National Medical Register (NMR) entries of four doctors -- Dr Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed -- with immediate effect, said sources. In its notice, the NMC cited charges mentioned in FIRs and said Ahmad, Rather and Shakeel, who were registered with the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Council, were found to be involved on the basis of evidence collected by investigating agencies. Their alleged conduct, the commission noted, was prima facie inconsistent with the standards of ethical propriety, integrity and public trust expected of medical professionals under the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002. These doctors can no longer practise medicine or hold any medical appointment anywhere in India, the notice read. The land records of the university have also come under scrutiny. A revenue team comprising patwaris visited the campus in Dhauj yesterday and measured land parcels. A measurement of the land is under process to clarify if any encroachment by the university. It will also be clarifying how the university administration takes the panchayati land on which condition and norms, said an officer.
