Faridabad's Al-Falah University has emerged as a central location in the unraveling of a radicalized doctors' module with alleged ties to Pakistan-based terror groups. Recent investigations have revealed that the university's campus and its personnel were allegedly used for recruitment, storage of explosives, and potentially even the synthesis of explosive materials.

The investigation gained momentum following the appearance of threatening Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) posters in Srinagar on October 19, 2025. This led authorities to Dr. Muzammil Ahmad Ganai, a faculty member at Al-Falah University. Ganai's arrest and subsequent questioning led to the discovery of a massive cache of nearly 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate and other IED-making components, as well as weapons, from rented accommodations in Faridabad.

The probe suggests that Al-Falah University may have been used for more than just hiding explosives. Investigators are exploring the possibility that the university's laboratory facilities were used to synthesize RDX or other advanced explosives. Dr. Muzammil Shakeel, who managed the university hospital's emergency wing and taught medical students, had been operating from rooms owned by a local cleric.

The investigation has widened to include the role of other individuals connected to Al-Falah University. Dr. Shaheen Shahid, a senior doctor at the university, has been arrested and is considered a key conspirator. An AK-47 assault rifle was allegedly recovered from her car, which Dr. Muzammil is said to have used to transport weapons. Dr. Shaheen is also suspected of helping to operate the module that stored the large quantity of ammonium nitrate. Further, she is believed to be part of Jamaat-ul-Mominaat, a women's wing recently launched by JeM.

The authorities have arrested an imam from Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian, Irfan Ahmad Wagah, along with his wife, for allegedly recruiting and radicalizing doctors, including those involved in the Faridabad module. The imam is believed to have lured medical professionals towards extremist ideologies.

This "white-collar terror module," active since mid-2024, allegedly funneled funds via hawala networks and recruited through online jihadist forums. The group masked their militant planning under the guise of spiritual or scholarly pursuits. Investigators believe the ultimate plan was a multi-state operation to set India ablaze.

The module's discovery has led to a multi-agency probe spanning Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Raids have been conducted in multiple locations, and several individuals with suspected links to the module have been detained and are being questioned.

The police describe this as white-collar terrorism, linking doctors and academics to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind. Confiscated messages tie Ahmad's sermons to extremist goals. By enlisting professionals, the group allegedly masked militant planning under the guise of spiritual or scholarly pursuits.

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to identify all members of the network, trace the supply chain of weapons and explosives, and determine the source of funding and any foreign links.
