Faridabad, Nov 12 (NationPress) The administration of Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, has found itself under scrutiny following the identification of doctors affiliated with the institution as primary suspects in the recent Delhi blast. They have expressed their distress regarding these unfortunate circumstances and have vocally condemned the incidents.

In an official release, Vice-Chancellor Prof (Dr) Bhupinder Kaur Anand stated, "Our institution has been engaged in various academic and professional programs and has been educating undergraduate MBBS students since 2019. The physicians trained at our university are currently practicing in esteemed hospitals and institutions throughout India and overseas, holding significant and respected roles."

The Vice-Chancellor emphasized that the university only has a professional association with the physicians under investigation.

"We are profoundly saddened and troubled by these unfortunate events and denounce them. Our thoughts and prayers are with all innocent individuals impacted by these distressing occurrences," the statement continued.

Al Falah University gained attention after two of its doctors, Dr Muzammil and Dr Shaheed, were apprehended in relation to the confiscation of 2,900 kg of explosives.

Dr Mohammad Umar, the main suspect linked to the explosion near Delhi's Red Fort Metro Station, which resulted in at least eight fatalities, also had ties to the university.

Security agencies have been meticulously examining the university campus, interrogating more than 52 individuals connected to the institution as part of their ongoing investigation.

"We have also learned that two of our doctors are currently detained by the investigative authorities. We want to clarify that the university has no ties with these individuals aside from their professional roles at the university," the statement asserted.

The Vice-Chancellor also criticized what she referred to as unfounded reports aimed at damaging the university's reputation.

"The university expresses deep concern regarding certain online platforms disseminating misleading and unfounded narratives with the clear purpose of tarnishing the university's image and goodwill. We firmly reject and categorically deny all such false and defamatory claims," the statement added.

"It should be noted that no such chemicals or materials, as alleged by certain platforms, are being utilized, stored, or handled within the university premises. Our laboratories are dedicated solely to the academic and training needs of MBBS students and other authorized programs. Every laboratory operation is conducted in strict accordance with established safety protocols, statutory regulations, and ethical standards set forth by regulatory authorities," the statement further emphasized.

In a call for responsible journalism, the university urged, "We encourage all organizations and individuals to act responsibly and verify through official channels before making or disseminating any statements concerning the university."
