“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.
