Delhi Crime Branch Files Two FIRs Against Al-Falah University for Cheating and Forgery

The move follows findings by UGC as well as NAAC of serious irregularities, including false accreditation claims.

Overview

  • Delhi Police said the FIRs were registered on Saturday, with one case for cheating and another for forgery, following a complaint tied to regulatory reviews.
  • A Crime Branch team visited the university’s Okhla office, issued a notice, and requested documents as part of the ongoing probe.
  • NAAC issued a show-cause notice stating the university is neither accredited nor has applied for accreditation while publicly displaying misleading claims.
  • The Association of Indian Universities has suspended Al-Falah’s membership and directed the removal of its logo and name from all use.
  • Investigators probing the Red Fort car blast say university-linked doctors used a campus room for meetings where devices, diaries, and chemical traces were seized, and authorities confirm ED scrutiny of the institution.
