AIU Suspends Al-Falah University as NAAC Issues Show-Cause and ED Audit Likely

The probe now encompasses campus-linked vehicles and sealed rooms, with the medical regulator flagging possible sanctions once findings arrive.

Overview

  • Association of Indian Universities suspended Al-Falah’s membership and ordered the removal of its name and logo from all platforms with immediate effect.
  • NAAC served a show-cause notice over false or expired accreditation claims, demanded takedowns and a response within seven days, and raised the prospect of recommending withdrawal of recognition to multiple regulators.
  • Official sources say a forensic audit of the university’s records is likely to be carried out by the Enforcement Directorate following a high-level review of the case.
  • Investigators searched the Faridabad campus, traced multiple cars including a Brezza registered to a faculty member, sealed Building 17’s Room 13, and earlier recovered around 3,000 kg of explosives from premises linked to a junior resident.
  • The National Medical Commission is monitoring the case and could cancel registrations if guilt is proven, while the university denies institutional involvement and says it is cooperating with agencies.
