Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research, located in Faridabad, Haryana, has recently gained media attention following the detention of two faculty members in connection with the Faridabad terror module case. The university has issued a statement asserting that its only link to the accused doctors is their official employment.

National Medical Commission Scrutiny

The institution is also reportedly under investigation by the National Medical Commission (NMC) after one of its assistant professors was implicated in the Red Fort car blast case. In response to these developments, the university labeled the claims as “baseless and defamatory.”

Response to Allegations of Terror Planning

The university addressed allegations that Room 13 in Building 17 of its medical college was utilized by three doctors, including the primary suspect, for planning and coordinating the terror attack. Additionally, it was claimed that harmful chemicals were stored at the university’s laboratory. The university firmly stated that no such chemicals or materials are being used, stored, or handled on its premises.

Commitment to Academic Standards

Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences emphasized that its laboratories are dedicated solely to academic and training activities for MBBS and other authorized courses. All operations are conducted in compliance with stringent safety and ethical standards established by regulatory authorities.

Official Statement from the Vice Chancellor

In an official statement, Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) Bhupinder Kaur Anand expressed deep sadness over the recent events and condemned the actions leading to the detentions. He stated, “Our thoughts and prayers are with all the innocent people affected by these distressing events. We wish to make it clear that the University has no connection with the said persons apart from them being working in their official capacities with the University.”

Condemnation of Misinformation

The university further expressed concern regarding the circulation of misleading information online. It condemned and categorically denied all false allegations, reiterating that no harmful materials are associated with its operations. The laboratories are exclusively used for educational purposes, adhering to established safety protocols and ethical standards.
