Delhi police files FIRs against Al-Falah University for cheating and forgery
Following red flags from UGC and NAAC, Delhi Police has registered two FIRs against Al-Falah University for cheating and forgery.
Delhi Police has registered two separate FIRs against Haryana's Al-Falah University, following red flags raised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), an official said on Saturday.
The FIRs have been registered by the Crime Branch for cheating and forgery over alleged false accreditation claims made by the university, he said.
Officials said the action was initiated after both the UGC and NAAC flagged "major irregularities" during their review of the institution's functioning, prompting law enforcement agencies to step in.
Earlier, Delhi Police Special Cell had also registered a separate FIR under sections related to criminal conspiracy to probe the larger plot behind the blast. The initial FIR registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) has already been transferred to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The university is located at Dhauj in Haryana's Faridabad near Delhi. A police team also visited Al-Falah University headquarters in Okhla, and sought details about the suspects earlier in the day. Further investigation is underway, the police said.
