Overview
- Investigators detained two suspected hawala handlers in Nuh who allegedly moved cash from Delhi’s Chandni Chowk to Dr Umar at Al-Falah, with preliminary findings pointing to roughly ₹20 lakh routed for logistics.
- Probe officials say the suspected funds were used to buy about 26 quintals of NPK fertiliser from dealers in Nuh, Sohna, Gurugram and Faridabad, with over 20 shopkeepers now under scrutiny.
- A 45-year-old surgeon, Dr Rayees Ahmad Bhat, was picked up in Pathankot for questioning over alleged contact with Dr Umar as agencies examine a purported white-collar module linked by sources to JeM and AGh.
- Two doctors from Nuh and two fertiliser and seed sellers from Sohna were also detained for questioning, and authorities in Gurugram imposed tighter controls on fertiliser distribution.
- The National Medical Commission cancelled the registrations of four doctors tied to the case as the Enforcement Directorate and revenue officials examine Al-Falah University’s funding and land records in Dhauj.
