New Delhi: A former employee of Al-Falah University in Faridabad, which shot into the spotlight after the November 10 Delhi car blast, has allegedly told Republic TV that pro-Pakistan slogans were raised on campus.

Around 100-150 fake patient files were also prepared daily at the hospital under the strict instructions of the management, he said in an exclusive phone conversation with the television channel.

The preparation of fake patient files strengthens allegations of money laundering.

“Employees who disobeyed orders were marked absent and their salaries were deducted,” the former employee said, highlighting religious discrimination at the university.

Kashmiri staff apparently supported Pakistan and even shouted pro-Pakistani slogans, he claimed.

“Kashmiri staff and some doctors on night duty praised Pakistan. Slogans of Pakistan Zindabad were even heard on the hospital premises at times,” he said.

Fifteen people were killed and several others injured in the Delhi blast that occurred in a moving car driven by suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over the case from the Delhi Police and launched a massive search operation. The NIA established that Nabi was a resident of Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district and an assistant professor in the general medicine department at the university in Faridabad.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED), in a parallel probe, found that the Al-Falah University that employed two key suspects in the blast case, Dr Shaheen Saeed and Dr Mujammil Shakeel, was also involved in money laundering.

On Monday, the Saket District Court remanded Al-Falah Group chairman Jawad Ahmed Siddique in 14 days’ judicial custody after ED’s interrogation. He was arrested in a case of alleged money laundering of more than Rs 400 crore, involving the Al-Falah Charitable Trust, which controls the university and its educational institutions.

Siddiqui was arrested under Section 19 of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on November 18. The ED action followed two FIRs registered by the Delhi Police Crime Branch on November 13, 2025. The FIRs allege that expired NAAC accreditation grades were falsely advertised by Al-Falah University and affiliated institutions.

The university is said to have fabricated claims of UGC recognition under Section 12(B) of the UGC Act, despite never applying for it and being ineligible for grants, it stated. These claims were allegedly used to mislead students and parents into believing the institution held valid approvals and credibility, thereby attracting admissions and fees through fraudulent inducement, the Saket court had noted.

The court had recorded that the ED’s financial analysis showed Al-Falah institutions generated about Rs 415.10 crore between FY 2018-19 and 2024-25 through student fees collected, while the university was allegedly misrepresenting its NAAC accreditation and UGC status. The court noted that this money appeared to have been obtained through cheating and forgery, making it proceeds of crime under PMLA.

According to intelligence reports, Umar Nabi is not the first individual associated with Al-Falah to be to terrorism. The name that surfaced was that of Mirza Shadab Beg, one of the key members of the Indian Mujahideen. Beg completed his B.Tech in Electronics & Instrumentation from Al-Falah Engineering College in Faridabad in 2007. A year later, he was found involved in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts.

The National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI) has also reportedly issued a show-cause notice to the Al-Falah University. It was claimed that the NCMEI has questioned why its minority status should not be withdrawn in light of linkages to the Delhi blast case.
