Two doctors associated with Al Falah University arrested
Al Falah University, a private institution located in Dhauj, Faridabad district of Haryana, also operates a hospital within its campus. Authorities have arrested two individuals associated with the university, Dr Muzammil Ganaie and Dr Shaheen Sayeed, in connection with Monday’s explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort that claimed 12 lives.
Initial investigations into the incident suggest that the blast may be linked to an alleged terror network recently uncovered in Faridabad.
