ED raids Al Falah University over money laundering in Delhi Red Fort blast case

New Delhi, Nov 18 (UNI) In a recent development in the Delhi Red Fort blast case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched an investigation into alleged money laundering at Al Falah University, where the accused were employed and studied.

The ED has formed multiple teams and is conducting searches at the Okhla office of Al Falah University and other related locations.

“ED is conducting search operations in the case of Al Falah University, its trustees, and related individuals/entities. The operations began at 5 am this morning and are currently ongoing,” said a senior ED official.

The ED’s case is based on FIRs filed by the Delhi Crime Branch and Haryana Police, which allege the Al Fatah University’s involvement in financial fraud.

To date, 15 people have lost their lives in the Delhi Red Fort blast. Dr. Umar Nabi, a doctor associated with Al Falah University, was driving the i20 car that exploded. Initially, the university denied any connection to Dr. Umar and his associates.

However, it was later discovered during the investigations that the university was allegedly involved in financial fraud, leading to the registration of FIRs and the ED being called in to probe the money laundering angle.
