Overview
- College staff recovered a handwritten paper from the X-ray room on Saturday and alerted Ayodhya police, who launched an immediate inquiry.
- Officials say initial inquiry points to a first-year student named Sarfaraz from Balrampur who was on duty in the X-ray room and has been detained for questioning.
- Two other people who were on duty with the detained student have been questioned by police as investigators work to establish authorship and motive.
- The document lists materials and chemicals linked to explosives, including gauge wire, ammonium carbonate, red phosphorus, red sulphide and nitric acid, and is being forensically examined.
- The college has ordered heightened security and a review of arrangements while police stress they have not yet confirmed any criminal or extremist intent and are exploring all angles, a development that follows heightened campus scrutiny after the November 2025 Red Fort attack.
