Delhi Police has detained three persons, including two doctors from Haryana’s Al-Falah University, in connection with the car explosion near Red Fort on November 10, an official confirmed on Saturday.
Delhi Police’s Crime Branch also lodged two separate FIRs against the university under charges of cheating and forgery following alleged irregularities flagged by the University Grants Commission and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council.
The fresh detentions and criminal cases come amid an escalating multi-agency probe into the blast – that claimed 13 lives – and the activities of individuals linked to the university.
Late-night raids
A police team on Saturday visited the Okhla office of the university to seek details of those under the scanner. The detentions were made during coordinated raids in Dhauj, Nuh, and adjoining areas of Haryana late on Friday by Delhi Police’s Special Cell and the National Investigation Agency, officials said.
