Delhi blast: 2 docs, 2 traders detained; Al-Falah land under scanner

The crackdown linked to the recently unearthed terror module intensified on Friday as two doctors from Nuh and two fertiliser and seed sellers from Sohna were detained for questioning, even as Al-Falah University in Faridabad continued to remain under the scanner of multiple Central and state agencies.

Police sources said a doctor identified as Mustkim, a resident of Sunhera village in Nuh district, was picked up for questioning. He had reportedly completed his MBBS and was doing his apprenticeship at Al-Falah University, which ended on November 2. He allegedly travelled to Delhi on November 9. However, neither local police nor Central agencies have officially confirmed his detention.

Sources also revealed that another doctor, Dr Rehan, a former student of Al-Falah University who is currently employed with a private hospital in Nuh, was detained from Ward 3 for questioning.

Teams from the NIA and Jammu & Kashmir Police conducted fresh raids at Al-Falah University on Friday morning. A massive combing operation was simultaneously launched by Faridabad Police, covering sensitive areas, markets, congested spots and even mosques. “In view of the high alert, Faridabad Police are launching a special campaign to strengthen security across the district. As part of this campaign, teams are being formed at the police station level and intensive checking is being conducted at various locations,” said the police spokesperson.

In a linked action, two fertiliser and seed store owners were detained from the new grain market in Sohna over suspicion that they may have sold chemicals to individuals connected to the terror module. The development has triggered strict restrictions in Gurugram on fertiliser distribution. A senior investigation officer confirmed the detentions, saying the two traders were picked up for questioning. Fertiliser will now be issued only to registered farmers.

Across the Al-Falah University campus, panic has spread among students, parents and faculty after the institution’s name surfaced in the probe into the car bombing near Delhi’s Red Fort Metro station. More than 1,200 students have reportedly stopped attending classes, and parents continue to withdraw their wards. Sources added that around nine professors emailed their resignations, though the university has not accepted them. OPD services at the university hospital have also been affected.

The university’s land records have also come under scrutiny. A revenue team comprising patwaris visited the 70-acre campus in Dhauj on Friday to measure land parcels. “A measurement of the land is under process to clarify if any encroachment by the university. It will also be clarifying how the university administration takes the panchayati land on which condition and norms,” said a senior administrative officer.

Meanwhile, following the recovery of ammonium nitrate from Faridabad, Gurugram DC Ajay Kumar reiterated that fertilisers will now be issued only to farmers registered on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal. “Now fertilizers (urea, DAP, NPK etc.) will be available only to those farmers who have registered their crops,” he said.
