The anxiety among students and families intensified on 20 November 2025, when large-scale investigations linked to Al Falah University surfaced across national headlines. What began as a disturbing detail in the Delhi Red Fort blast probe has now spiralled into a full-blown, multi-agency investigation involving the Faridabad Police, SIT, Enforcement Directorate, and national security agencies.
Emotionally Exhausting Days for Parents and Students
For hundreds of families, the past week has been nothing short of an emotional breakdown. Parents of students enrolled in Al Falah University—especially in medical programs—are uncertain about their children’s next steps. Many have invested ₹50 lakh to ₹90 lakh in their education, and now face a horrific dilemma: pull them out and lose a year, or keep them enrolled amid an expanding terror probe.
Students describe the current atmosphere as “emotionally exhausting”. Heavy police presence, continuous questioning, restricted campus movement, and fear-driven rumours have turned day-to-day life into a stressful ordeal. A first-year medical student said she hasn’t slept properly since the news broke. “My parents keep calling. They don’t know whether to bring me home or let me finish my year. I don’t know either.”
How the Terror Probe Connects to the University
The investigation gained pace after revelations that Dr Umar Un Nabi, a former assistant professor at Al Falah University, was allegedly linked to the car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort. Two other faculty members—Dr Muzammil Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Shahid—also came under scrutiny for their suspected roles in what authorities describe as a “white-collar terror module.”
The case quickly widened:
- Faridabad Police SIT Probe, launching a deep investigation into the university’s operations.
- Enforcement Directorate (ED) inspecting shell firms and alleged money laundering linked to individuals associated with the university.
- NAAC issuing a show-cause notice over alleged false accreditation claims displayed on the university website.
- NIA tracking former students and alumni across states.
The university administration continues to maintain that the detained faculty members acted solely in their private capacity, distancing the institution from their alleged involvement.
A Heavy Cost for Medical Students
Medical courses at Al Falah are among the most expensive in the region. With some parents taking massive loans and spending their life savings, the sudden reputational and legal crisis feels devastating.
Parents fear that even if their children complete their degrees, the stigma attached to the university could haunt their career prospects. “We trusted them with our children and our savings. Now we don’t even know what’s true,” said the father of a second-year MBBS student.
Campus Life Disrupted
Counselling sessions have been arranged, but students say the fear is bigger than reassurance. The once-bustling campus now feels like a supervised zone with:
- Police patrols
- Verification drives
- Restrictions on open movement
- Continuous questioning and compliance checks
Some students have already left for home while others remain stuck in limbo—unsure whether transferring to another college is even possible without losing a year.
Biggest Concerns Going Forward
The families of students fear:
- Long-term stigma attached to degrees issued during the investigation.
- Delayed academic sessions if the probe expands further.
- Potential arrests or interrogations of additional staff or alumni.
- Financial collapse if sudden withdrawal becomes necessary.
Many parents are demanding more transparency from the university and timely updates from authorities.
Conclusion: A Crisis of Trust, Safety, and Future
The terror probe around Al Falah University is not just a law enforcement story—it is a human story of panic, emotional trauma, and shattered academic dreams. Until the findings of the SIT, ED, and NIA become clearer, hundreds of families remain suspended between fear and hope, uncertain whether the future of their children can still be secured within the walls of a campus now under the nation’s harshest spotlight.
