Al Falah University Doctors Linked to Delhi Blast, Membership Suspended
A university called Al-Falah University is facing serious problems because some of its doctors are suspected of being involved in a big explosion that happened in Delhi.
Because of these suspicions, the group that oversees universities in India has paused the university's membership.
Investigators believe the university might have been used for secret meetings where these doctors planned the attack.
Some of these doctors have been arrested, and their licenses to practice medicine have been taken away.
One doctor, who was believed to be the driver of the car that exploded, and another suspect who was getting ready to leave the country by applying for a passport, are central to the investigation.
Nearly 3,000 kilograms of explosives were found, suggesting a large-scale plot.
Al-Falah University's membership in the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has been suspended due to alleged involvement of its associated doctors in the Delhi blast.
Four doctors linked to the university are under investigation for connections to Jaish-e-Mohammad and the terror module responsible for the Delhi blast.
One suspect, Shaheen Saeed, who is a doctor, applied for a passport, raising concerns about her potentially fleeing the country.
Nearly 3,000 kg of explosives and bomb-making materials were seized from locations rented by the suspects, who allegedly held planning meetings at Al-Falah University.
The National Medical Commission has cancelled the registration of the doctors involved in the investigation.
