NAAC Issues Show-Cause to Al-Falah University as NIA Seeks Records, ED Plans Audit

The quality regulator says the Faridabad institution has no NAAC status, ordering removal of the claims within seven days.

Overview

  • The NIA, joined by Jammu & Kashmir Police, has intensified checks at Al-Falah Medical College, seeking staff, student and payroll records from 2019 and questioning faculty and students.
  • NAAC’s notice says the university is neither accredited nor has applied, notes that past A grades for two colleges expired years ago, and warns it may recommend action to the UGC, NMC, NCTE, AICTE and the Haryana government.
  • The university has been directed to delete all accreditation claims immediately and file a compliance report, with a formal response due within seven days.
  • The Enforcement Directorate will conduct a forensic review of the university’s finances to trace possible terror funding links, as other agencies coordinate document and device forensics.
  • Investigators link several doctors associated with Al-Falah to the Faridabad module and the Red Fort car blast that killed 13 people, citing a suspected hub in Building 17, Room 13 and the recovery of roughly 2,900–3,000 kg of explosive material from rented rooms off campus.
