Lucknow, Nov 18 (UNI) Assistant Professor Dr Farooq Ahmad Dar, posted at GS Medical College in Hapur, has been released by Delhi Police after seven days of questioning in connection with the terror module linked to the Delhi blast, sources said here on Tuesday.
He was picked up by the Delhi Police and security agencies late at night on November 12.
According to police sources, the initial inquiry suggested that Dr. Farooq may have been in contact with Dr. Parvez, the brother of the arrested terror suspect Dr. Shahin Shaheed.
Based on this information, the police questioned him on several angles. Officials also spoke to people associated with the medical college and members of his friend circle.
Sources said that during the week-long investigation, Dr. Farooq was questioned about his activities before and after the November 10 Delhi blast, including details of his call records, contacts and travel history. He cooperated fully and answered all questions. As no solid evidence was found against him, the Delhi Police released him.
Hapur SP KG Singh said that Dr. Farooq has been teaching at GS Medical College in Pilkhuwa for about a year and resides on the college campus. Originally from Jammu & Kashmir, he has also worked at Al-Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, where several of the suspects linked to the terror module worked.
GS Medical College Deputy Director Manoj Sisodia confirmed the release, stating that the allegations against Dr. Farooq were found to be baseless during the investigation.
Although he has not yet returned to the university, he is expected to resume his duties soon.
