New Delhi, Nov 13 (UNI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been asked to initiate a money laundering probe against Faridabad-based Al-Falah University, after some of its doctors were found to be allegedly part of the ‘Doctor Terror Module’ of the Jaish-e-Mohammad wing and were implicated in the Red Fort Blast, agency sources said.
Government sources said a financial audit of the University will be conducted, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), and based on its findings, action will be taken.
The Economic Offence Wing of the Haryana Police has also been asked to initiate a similar probe.
Al-Falah University is alleged to be the epicentre of the ongoing investigation into the November 10 Red Fort Blast in which 12 people were killed and several others injured.
Sources added that the ED and other financial investigation agencies will probe the finances of the doctors linked to Al-Falah University.
Meanwhile, Mohd. Razi, Legal Advisor for Al Falah U. (Trust), asserted that the University has done nothing wrong.
“Al Falah’s funding comes only from fees. We do not receive any external funding. We will cooperate fully with the investigating agency,” he said.
On Wednesday, Al-Falah University of Faridabad had in an official statement condemned the Delhi blast. It had confirmed that two of its doctors have been detained by investigating agencies.
However, it sought to distance the institution from the individuals’ alleged actions, clarifying that its connection with them is strictly professional.
The statement read, “The University has no connection with the said persons apart from them working in their official capacities with the University.”
The university also pledged its full cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
The main suspect behind the blast that killed 12 people and left 24 injured, Dr Umar, was a junior doctor at Al-Falah.
